What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities in Japan that allow me to leverage my software engineering skills in a collaborative environment focused on innovation and growth.

I am a software engineer with over four years of professional experience, currently working as a Software Development Engineer at Ucamco NV in Ghent, Belgium. My expertise lies in backend development, where I lead the development of Nexus, an on-premise server-based application for PCB CAM and Pre-CAM Software. I have a strong focus on full-stack development, utilizing technologies such as Java, Typescript, and Angular, and I am adept at batch processing and image generation tasks using C.

Previously, I worked at Amazon Japan, where I was part of the Search Engine Technologies team. I played a crucial role in modernizing the search infrastructure by implementing a containerized deployment on AWS. My experience includes working with a variety of technologies such as Scala, Python, and various AWS services, ensuring operational support through a 24/7 on-call rotation. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to create efficient and reliable software solutions.
