What I'm looking for

An environment that enables team collaboration yet time to work independently, Room for growth to develop myself and evolve within the business. A product that is providing a constant challenge that brings a sense of reward upon releases. Ability too deep dive into the needs of both the users and the business. A happy and supportive employee environment.

I'm a Software Engineer with a solid foundation in developing applications for users. I’ve successfully contributed to projects for both local and international firms. At Sollyverse, I developed an MVP for crypto exchange startup and a personalized recommendations algorithm for a food ordering platform.

At Digital Factory, I optimized website performance and accessibility. I also improved the asset delivery pipeline by optimizing images and migrating from Paperclip to Active Storage.

My technical expertise includes JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, React, VueJS, Laravel, Ruby on Rails, NodeJS, and PostgreSQL. I am skilled in industry best practices, including version control and testing, and am always eager to tackle new challenges and bring my skills to your team.
