What I'm looking for

I seek a role building scalable, user-focused web applications with strong engineering practices, collaborative teams, and opportunities to lead technical projects.

I am a passionate, detail-oriented software engineer with over four years of experience designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality software solutions across web and cloud platforms. I have built full-stack applications, engineered microservices, integrated payment and logistics systems, and guided teams to deliver scalable, user-centric products.

My technical toolkit includes JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, and multiple databases (Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite, Firestore). I combine pragmatic engineering with strong product sensibility to improve performance, reliability, and user experience.
