What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

With over seven years of experience as a Full Stack Engineer, I specialize in crafting user-centric solutions across frontend and backend technologies. My proficiency in React and React Native, combined with my skills in Material-UI and Tailwind CSS, allows me to create responsive and visually appealing interfaces. I also have a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, ensuring seamless user experiences.

On the backend, I have built scalable systems using Node.js, Python, and TypeScript, focusing on designing efficient databases with MongoDB and MySQL. I excel in developing robust RESTful APIs that facilitate smooth communication between applications. My experience includes deploying applications on Google Cloud Platform and utilizing tools like Docker and Kubernetes for efficient development workflows.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a passion for education, having taught various programming courses and contributed to curriculum development. I thrive on creative problem-solving and resilience, consistently turning challenges into opportunities for innovation. I look forward to discussing how my versatile skill set can contribute to your team's success and growth.
