What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I began my career as a freelance front-end developer and have since accumulated over 10 years of experience in software engineering. My journey has taken me through various roles, collaborating with small teams, startups, and large enterprises across multiple countries. I have developed web applications for diverse industries, including education, gaming, consulting, and retail.

Currently, I serve as the Lead Backend Engineer at CleverX, where I have played a pivotal role in developing a marketplace for high-end consultants. My contributions have helped the product achieve over $200K in monthly revenue. I take pride in designing scalable back-end services, integrating third-party tools, and leading a team to deliver exceptional results.
