What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my technical skills.

I'm a Java Full Stack Developer with a strong focus on creating secure and scalable RESTful APIs using Spring Boot for backend development, and dynamic, responsive interfaces with React for the frontend. My passion lies in building end-to-end solutions that prioritize performance, maintainability, and security. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Minor in Mathematics, which has equipped me with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of software development.

Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented and contributed to various projects, including an IPC Patent Classification system that improved classification efficiency by approximately 30%. My experience at Morgan Stanley involved developing a global HR application and a multinational access system, where I actively participated in code reviews and stakeholder meetings to enhance application performance and user experience. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy tackling complex challenges with innovative solutions.
