What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and continuous learning, where I can contribute to impactful projects and further develop my skills.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 8 years of experience in designing and implementing scalable applications. My expertise lies in the LAMP stack, ReactJS, and AWS Lambda, particularly within e-commerce and manufacturing environments. I have a proven track record of enhancing system performance and streamlining deployment processes through CI/CD practices and Docker.

At iTransition, I managed and improved existing web applications, achieving a 30% increase in system performance. I led cross-functional teams to implement project specifications, reducing completion time by 15%. My commitment to quality is reflected in my rigorous testing and debugging strategies, resulting in fewer than 2% production issues annually. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and fostering a culture of learning within my team.
