What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in cloud technologies and leadership.

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable web applications and microservices using modern technologies such as React, Node.js, and TypeScript. My passion lies in writing clean, efficient code and leading teams in Agile environments, where I have successfully architected solutions that integrate APIs and utilize cloud technologies like AWS to deliver high-performance applications.

Throughout my career, I have led the development of numerous full-stack web applications, enhancing user engagement and functionality. My recent role at Symation Inc. involved architecting and developing performant React.js applications, migrating legacy systems to TypeScript, and implementing CI/CD pipelines that improved deployment speed. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to define product features and ensure the delivery of quality software.
