What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Senior Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience in designing and building scalable backend systems and secure APIs. My expertise lies in backend development using Go and frontend development using React, complemented by a deep understanding of cloud architecture, automation, and system performance tuning. I have a proven track record of creating robust, maintainable systems that power enterprise-level platforms.
At Bloomerang, I spearheaded the backend development of a secure donation system, successfully migrating from Java-based components to Go, which significantly improved performance and maintainability. I led the re-architecture of backend services to a microservice-based model, optimizing system decoupling and increasing deployment agility. My collaborative approach with frontend teams allowed for seamless integration of dynamic UIs, enhancing user experience and engagement.
In addition to my technical skills, I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and contributing to knowledge-sharing efforts within my team. I thrive in Agile environments and am committed to continuous improvement, always seeking innovative solutions to complex challenges.
