What I'm looking for

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

I am a Fullstack Web Developer with a strong focus on designing and building scalable digital products. My expertise lies in ReactJS and NodeJS, and I am driven to enhance my backend skills, particularly with Go (Golang) and Python. I have a solid foundation in technical project management and cross-functional collaboration, which allows me to contribute effectively to the architecture of robust server-side solutions.

Throughout my career, I have worked closely with clients to conceptualize and implement their online presence and digital projects. My experience spans from UX/UI design to API development and database integration. I have independently developed complex web applications and actively contributed to the design and refinement of sustainable business models, ensuring that the products I create are not only technically sound but also user-friendly and impactful.
