What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining Agile product delivery and hands-on backend development or a position bridging technical delivery with content/social strategy, in a collaborative, growth-oriented team that values impact and continuous improvement.

I am a Scrum-focused software engineer with hands-on experience building backend services in C# (.NET Core) and supporting the full Agile delivery lifecycle, from requirements engineering to tests and deployment. I translate stakeholder needs into clear user stories, facilitate Scrum events, track productivity with story points, and use tools like Jira, Confluence and GitLab to keep teams aligned.

Alongside engineering, I create short-form social content (TikTok, Instagram) managing end-to-end production—concept, filming, CapCut editing—and optimize performance using platform analytics. I combine technical understanding (C#, SQL, AWS, APIs, Python) with content strategy and community growth to deliver both product outcomes and audience impact.
