What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable web applications that combine full-stack development and AI, work collaboratively in agile teams, mentor juniors, and deliver measurable user value.

I am a full-stack developer with advanced AI training, combining backend and frontend expertise to build scalable, intelligent web solutions that meet client expectations.

I have professional experience developing with PHP, JavaScript and Python, and using frameworks and tools such as Laravel, Drupal (8–11), React, Vue.js and Tailwind. I routinely work across the development cycle, including debugging, QA and deployment in Linux and Windows environments.

My background includes delivering complex corporate projects, mentoring junior developers, and providing IT support and service management—bringing strong communication and customer-relations skills to technical teams.

I hold a postgraduate specialization in Artificial Intelligence and certifications in Acquia Drupal and ITIL 4; I am proactive, a self-learner, and focused on improving usability and system performance.
