What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my skills in cloud technologies and software development.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in cloud-native applications and microservices. My experience at Harman International allowed me to develop Java microservices that improved response times by 40% and optimized RESTful APIs, significantly enhancing system performance. I thrive in environments that challenge my skills and push me to innovate.

With a Master’s degree in Information Systems from Northeastern University and a Bachelor’s in Computer Science, I have a solid academic background complemented by hands-on experience in full-stack development. I have successfully led projects that integrate cutting-edge technologies, such as AWS, React, and Spring Boot, ensuring high availability and security. My passion for continuous learning drives me to stay updated with industry trends and best practices.
