What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in full-stack development and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a Full-Stack Developer with 8 years of experience specializing in modern React, serverless architecture, and scalable cloud-native applications. My expertise lies in building SEO-optimized platforms using Next.js and TypeScript, and I am proficient in integrating AI tools like the OpenAI API. I focus on optimizing performance and delivering production-grade software through CI/CD pipelines.

In my recent role as a Senior Software Engineer at Symetris, I led the development of healthcare platforms, enhancing clinical usability and accessibility. I built secure, scalable web applications using React, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and contributed to Agile processes, code reviews, and CI/CD workflows. My previous experiences at CodeHarbor Studio and Paradem Consulting further honed my skills in developing tailored web solutions for various industries, including e-commerce and education.
