I have a strong background in database management with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, and I am passionate about writing clean code and adhering to SOLID principles.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed and maintained multitenant APIs for major brands, enhanced API capabilities based on client needs, and delivered high-quality microsites. I thrive in agile environments and have a proven track record of conducting code reviews and ensuring adherence to development best practices. My goal is to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to innovative projects.
