What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning, where I can contribute to impactful projects and mentor others.

I am a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer with over 9 years of experience in building scalable and high-performance web applications. My expertise lies in backend engineering, particularly in Ruby on Rails, API development, and DevOps practices. I have a strong command of modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js and React Native, which allows me to create seamless integrations and enhance user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have led the design and implementation of numerous features, optimized database schemas, and improved code quality through rigorous code reviews and refactoring. My commitment to clean architecture and software craftsmanship is evident in my advocacy for TDD/BDD practices and my role in mentoring junior engineers. I thrive in collaborative environments and have successfully delivered production-grade software across both enterprise and startup settings.
