What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my technical expertise.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience in building scalable backend systems and full-stack solutions, particularly for e-commerce and startups across the EMEA region. My journey has been marked by a proven track record of delivering high-performance APIs and microservices architectures that drive measurable business results. I take pride in my strong technical leadership skills, having successfully mentored development teams and implemented agile methodologies to enhance productivity and collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have transformed complex challenges into innovative solutions. For instance, I recently led a project that transitioned a full e-commerce website from WooCommerce to Laravel, resulting in a remarkable 200% increase in sales. My technical expertise spans a wide array of technologies, including PHP, JavaScript, Python, and various database systems. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create impactful software solutions that not only meet but exceed client expectations.
