What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills to build impactful applications and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am a Senior Full Stack Engineer with extensive experience in developing and maintaining scalable web applications. My journey in technology began with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley, followed by an intensive Full-Stack Development Bootcamp. Over the years, I have honed my skills in various technologies, including React, Node.js, and Python, allowing me to create efficient and user-friendly applications.

At Allspero, I led the migration of a legacy web application to a modern React framework, significantly improving performance and user engagement. My role involved building RESTful APIs and integrating secure login features, which enhanced the overall user experience. Previously, at ePayPolicy, I optimized payment automation features and designed comprehensive APIs, streamlining processes for clients in the insurance sector. I take pride in my ability to collaborate effectively with teams and deliver high-quality solutions that meet client needs.
