What I'm looking for

I seek a role that challenges my technical skills and fosters innovation.

As a seasoned tech lead with nearly a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in software engineering across various domains, including video analysis, data analysis, and machine learning. My journey began at Coeus Solutions, where I developed applications using Laravel and Ruby on Rails, and continued to flourish at SurveyAuto, where I was a founding engineer. I played a pivotal role in designing service-oriented architectures and implementing innovative solutions that significantly enhanced user experience.

At Calipsa, a Motorola Solutions company, I spearheaded the development of integrations for our flagship product, achieving remarkable results such as a 30% reduction in AWS costs and optimizing database performance. My tenure at Mimica has been equally rewarding, where I tackled complex challenges related to scale and reliability, resulting in a 5x reduction in loading times. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and continuously strive for excellence in every project I undertake.
