What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I am a result-oriented software developer with over five years of experience in the industry. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in leadership, operational excellence, and organizational development. I have a keen understanding of software development elements and have been recognized for inspiring my team members to excel while fostering a creative work environment.

Currently, I serve as a Backend Developer at SEPA Cyber Technology, where I develop and maintain scalable backend systems for secure financial transactions. My role involves designing and implementing RESTful APIs and microservices, integrating third-party services, and establishing robust CI/CD pipelines. My previous experience as a Technical Manager at Techstorm Solutions allowed me to lead a team in developing VAS services for a large-scale telecom platform, showcasing my ability to manage projects effectively while ensuring optimal performance.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in various projects that have significantly impacted the organizations I have worked with. From mobile payment integrations to complaint management systems, I have consistently delivered high-quality solutions that meet client needs. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
