@robertcastro
Senior Software Engineer with a passion for scalable applications.
What I'm looking for
With over 6 years of experience as a Systems and Software Developer, I specialize in designing and developing highly scalable full-stack applications and systems. My proficiency in Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and C++ is backed by a solid academic foundation in computer science from a top-tier school. I am dedicated to delivering scalable and quality solutions while effectively communicating complex ideas with high fidelity.
In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at TechNova Solutions, I have developed scalable backend APIs in Java and Python for enterprise SaaS products, led frontend development in TypeScript and React to build interactive user dashboards, and successfully rewrote legacy C++ components, reducing latency and boosting throughput by 25%. I take pride in maintaining documentation and internal guides with meticulous attention to grammar and clarity, and I enjoy mentoring junior engineers while enforcing clean code practices through code reviews.
Previously, as a Software Engineer at Inertia Digital, I collaborated on microservice-based systems using Java and Node.js in a CI/CD environment, built automated testing pipelines in Python, and migrated on-prem systems to cloud infrastructure using Docker and AWS. My ability to present technical solutions to stakeholders with clarity and confidence has been a key asset throughout my career.
