What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in full-stack development and cloud solutions to drive impactful projects.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with over 3 years of experience in full-stack development and cloud solutions. My journey in technology has been marked by a commitment to delivering scalable applications and leading Agile teams. I have a proven track record of collaborating with product managers to streamline CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing deployment times and costs.

At Tech Innovators Ltd, I lead a team of developers in designing and deploying enterprise-grade web applications using the MERN stack. One of my proudest achievements was spearheading a React-based dashboard for real-time analytics, which boosted client retention by 25%. I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers and sharing best practices in Agile methodologies, ensuring that our team continuously improves and adapts to new challenges.
