What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and career growth.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 6 years of experience specializing in full-stack development. My expertise lies in Python, Django, Node.js, and React, where I have successfully led critical infrastructure efforts and contributed to large-scale platform upgrades. I have a proven track record in designing scalable backend systems and APIs, and I thrive in cross-functional teams, ensuring smooth collaboration and technical debt reduction.

Throughout my career, I have executed significant upgrades across multiple services, including major Django and Python migrations. My role as a Team Lead at Arbisoft|edX has allowed me to guide a team of engineers in delivering impactful platform improvements while maintaining detailed technical documentation to support our processes. I am passionate about creating sustainable solutions and have presented my work at the Open edX Conference, showcasing my commitment to innovation in the tech community.
