What I'm looking for
I am a Full Stack Developer with a strong focus on building scalable, maintainable, and high-performance web applications. My experience spans across various technologies including React, Next.js, NestJS, and Golang, allowing me to deliver robust solutions that meet client needs effectively.
In my recent role as a Lead Engineer at Slope Talent, I successfully built a custom CRM from scratch, which streamlined the recruiting process for a 20-person team. This project not only improved data entry efficiency but also enhanced candidate tracking and reporting. My commitment to quality is evident in my establishment of CI/CD practices, ensuring high test coverage and a reliable deployment process.
Previously, as a Software Engineer II at RemoteBase, I led a team to refactor a platform used by over 100K users, significantly improving code maintainability. My passion for innovation drives me to explore AI and blockchain technologies, as demonstrated in my personal projects like FindMyDiscounts and Devable, where I created applications that enhance user experience and learning opportunities.
