What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth, where I can leverage my backend development skills to create impactful solutions.

I am a creative and detail-oriented Senior Backend Developer with over 10 years of experience in designing, developing, and maintaining scalable applications. My expertise lies in building robust microservices architectures and crafting efficient back-end solutions using cutting-edge technologies. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to leverage my strong background in gRPC, Cloud Platforms, and event-driven systems to contribute to innovative health solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and implemented scalable microservices architectures, enhancing system performance and reliability. I have developed complex gRPC services for seamless communication between services and collaborated with product managers and UX/UI teams to create intuitive APIs. My experience with AWS and Google Cloud Platform has enabled me to deploy and manage cloud-based applications efficiently, while my proficiency in Docker and Kubernetes has ensured smooth CI/CD pipelines.

As a mentor, I take pride in training junior developers on best practices in software development and cloud technologies. I am committed to continuous improvement and actively contribute to Agile practices within my teams, aiding in sprint planning and retrospectives. My goal is to create high-quality software solutions that meet user needs and drive business success.
