What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated full-stack developer with over 8 years of experience in delivering end-to-end software solutions. My journey began as a Senior Developer at EB Pearls, where I transitioned from Laravel/MySQL to Node.js and Express.js, honing my skills in backend development while also gaining substantial frontend experience with Vue.js and React.js. I take pride in architecting microservices using Apollo Federation and have a strong grasp of containerization with Docker and orchestration with AWS Fargate.

In my current role as a Technical Lead, I manage and mentor a team of developers, ensuring adherence to coding standards and quality delivery through Agile practices. My technical leadership extends to making architectural decisions and collaborating with stakeholders to align on project strategies. I am passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technologies to create reliable software applications that meet user needs and drive business success.
