What I'm looking for

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

In my most recent role as a Senior Back End Engineer at Definition Health, I played a key role in supporting and enhancing existing products while also bringing new innovative solutions to market. My experience includes working extensively in Agile methodologies, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and ensuring data integrity and security in all projects. I have a proven track record of translating complex requirements into structured data models, which has been crucial in my contributions to various high-stakes projects.

Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of software design principles, particularly in Golang and Java, and have successfully led teams in the design and delivery of cloud-based platforms. My analytical skills and attention to detail have enabled me to excel in roles that require both technical expertise and strategic thinking.
