What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic team that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a Full-Stack Engineer with over 3 years of experience in delivering robust Java/Spring Boot and Node.js microservices, complemented by dynamic React front-ends. My passion lies in creating scalable architectures and ensuring end-to-end delivery, which I demonstrated by spearheading a machine-learning tagging API SaaS that reduced deployment time by 40%.

Throughout my career, I have successfully provisioned hybrid infrastructures using Infrastructure as Code tools like Ansible and Terraform, and built fully automated CI/CD pipelines on CircleCI for containerized applications. My experience also includes deploying centralized logging and monitoring environments, which have significantly enhanced operational efficiency.

I am committed to continuous learning and improvement, as evidenced by my final year project focused on self-optimizing CI pipelines. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute my skills to innovative projects that challenge the status quo.
