What I'm looking for

I seek roles building robust APIs and full-stack systems where I can mentor junior developers, engage in R&D, and contribute to education and sustainable-technology projects.

I am a seasoned full-stack developer with hands-on experience building APIs, web and mobile interfaces using PHP Laravel, Java Spring Boot, Python (Flask, Kivy), vanilla JavaScript and Bootstrap. I have contributed to research and development projects, digitized field data, built speech-to-text APIs and developed Android field data collection tools, while supporting academic programs as a teaching assistant and research center secretary.

I focus on practical, maintainable solutions and mentoring others: I aim to develop robust APIs, train junior developers and contribute to education and renewable-resource initiatives through ICT. My background blends university-level teaching and industrial development across web, mobile and desktop platforms.
