What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

With over 9 years of experience as a Senior Software Engineer, I have honed my skills in building scalable, high-performance web applications using the MERN stack, Ruby on Rails, and Python. My expertise lies in designing and optimizing APIs, integrating modern frontend technologies, and deploying applications across cloud platforms. I have a proven track record of improving application performance, reducing downtime, and delivering high-quality, data-driven solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led cloud deployments, established CI/CD pipelines, and mentored junior developers. My work at Anthem resulted in a 40% increase in application performance and a 25% reduction in infrastructure costs. I am passionate about leveraging my technical skills and collaborative approach to drive team success and enhance user experiences.
