Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented RESTful and gRPC APIs, optimized database performance, and integrated secure payment systems, all while adhering to best practices in code quality and security. My passion for mentoring teams and promoting clean code has not only enhanced team productivity but also fostered a culture of continuous improvement. I thrive in dynamic environments and am dedicated to delivering practical solutions that drive impact.
