What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic company that values innovation, offers opportunities for growth, and encourages collaboration in a supportive environment.

As a Full-Stack Web Developer and Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable web applications and cloud-based systems. My proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, and AWS allows me to create pixel-perfect UIs and architect robust backend systems. I am passionate about clean code and user experience, ensuring that every solution I deliver is not only functional but also user-friendly.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led product development from ideation to deployment. At Graswald GmbH, I built and maintained scalable inventory management systems and developed a subscription-based store, optimizing performance and reducing costs through strategic migrations and refactoring. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to found Adaee, an EdTech SaaS platform, where I raised $12K in grant funding and led a cross-functional team to develop innovative solutions for student management and communication.
