Overview

About

I am a software engineer specializing in front-end web development with a nano-degree certificate in cloud development, specifically experienced in using Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Over the past 2 years, I have successfully built user-friendly web products that effectively meet the unique needs of companies and their target markets. Working at Niralab, I collaborated with talented colleagues from diverse fields of the tech ecosystem, following Agile methodologies to guide our work process. This approach facilitated my professional growth and fostered strong relationships with clients and teams.

I continue to serve as the lead developer responsible for the website's maintenance. In addition to my development role, I excel at tutoring and guiding trainees in web development.

With an ever-expanding skillset and the experiences I've gained, both personally and in the tech industry, I am dedicated to making a long-lasting positive impact in any company I join and the broader society. I strive to create solutions that benefit all stakeholders and leave a memorable legacy for future generations.
