What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and teamwork, with opportunities for professional growth.

With over 12 years of experience as a senior software engineer, I have honed my skills in full-stack development, specializing in technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and AWS. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have led development initiatives, focusing on customer-facing products and internal tools, driving innovation and enhancing operational efficiency. At Verizon, I played a pivotal role in developing responsive single-page applications and improving user experience, achieving a 28% increase in UX task success rates.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, transforming business requirements into functional, high-performance user interfaces. My expertise extends to designing and developing REST APIs, implementing CI/CD pipelines, and utilizing Agile methodologies. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of continuous learning within my teams. My commitment to delivering high-quality software solutions is reflected in my proactive approach to problem-solving and my dedication to maintaining application integrity during upgrades and transitions.
