My journey has taken me through diverse roles, from leading UI teams to architecting robust applications that enhance user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have made significant contributions to projects such as the Goodbox Partner app, where I played a key role in establishing a generic structure for React and React Native development. My expertise extends to backend systems, including SQL, MongoDB, and Node.js, allowing me to create seamless integrations and efficient solutions. I thrive in collaborative environments and have a proven track record of delivering high-quality products that meet user needs.

As I continue to grow in my career, I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to innovate and contribute to cutting-edge projects. I believe in the power of technology to transform lives and am committed to being at the forefront of this evolution.
