What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers growth opportunities.

I am a seasoned Software Engineer with over five years of industry experience, specializing in full-stack development and data engineering. My journey has taken me through various roles, from Frontend Developer to Lead Software Engineer, where I have honed my skills in programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript. I have a strong background in developing robust applications and implementing machine learning techniques to enhance functionality and user experience.

At Punch Digital Agency, I played a key role in developing a proof detection system that utilized advanced machine learning algorithms, significantly improving accuracy and operational efficiency. My experience at Smartflow Technologies allowed me to lead a team in optimizing an enterprise B2B solution, where I successfully reduced downtime by 99%. I am passionate about mentoring junior developers and fostering a collaborative team environment to drive innovation and achieve project goals.
