What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and teamwork.

I am a seasoned software professional with over 14 years of experience, specializing in software development, team leadership, and production engineering. My career has been marked by my ability to lead diverse teams and drive projects from inception to deployment. At Circana, I lead a team of 17 engineers, where we successfully gather and analyze data from millions of receipts, providing valuable business forecasts to over 1000 e-commerce companies.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on improving efficiency and quality. At Microfocus, I played a key role in developing the 'Data Protector' backup solution, achieving over 90% test coverage through rigorous unit testing and automation. My experience spans various technologies, including Core Java, Springboot, and SQL, and I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions that meet client needs.

My commitment to continuous learning is evident through my certifications in Agile methodologies and leadership. I thrive in dynamic environments and am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems while fostering a collaborative team culture.
