What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows for professional growth.

I am a prolific software engineer with over 7 years of full stack software development experience. My journey in the tech industry has equipped me with a deep understanding of software architectural design and development, particularly in backend engineering. Currently, I serve as a Senior Backend Engineer at Fourcore Technologies, where I lead a team in developing a national-level blood management platform. My role involves not only technical development but also project management and mentoring junior developers, ensuring that our projects are executed efficiently and effectively.

Throughout my career, I have successfully integrated multiple external payment services and developed secure RESTful APIs, enhancing the functionality and security of the systems I work on. My experience spans various roles, including backend development and system administration, where I have consistently prioritized security and compliance, particularly when handling sensitive financial data. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and improve business efficiency.
