With 12+ years of software development experience, I have gained a deep understanding of designing and developing scalable applications in high-volume environments. Throughout my work experience, I covered the full spectrum of backend development to full stack development. This work has included intricate infrastructure solutions for large scale applications.As Technical Lead at Mode Software INC, my role encompasses implementing architectural designs and finding solutions to complex technical problems with my team. Another integral part of my job is to approve final technical decisions, manage deployments and drive team members forward to the tasks at hand. In my previous position as a Full-Stack Software Architect at OnyxCorp INC, I was involved in the designing and implementing of SaaS architecture for multi-tenancy applications, building and managing automated CI/CD pipelines, and deploying Kubernetes infrastructure using Helm. Freelance work at Toptal propels me to work on a swivel and to be at the ready, adjusting to client needs as they arise. This means sometimes building on or maintaining legacy code, creating MVPs or, at times, consulting on complex technical and architectural solutions such as integrations or work-flow automations.My expertise varies within a wide range of programing languages and technologies such as PHP, Laravel, Python, Django, MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, JavaScript, ReactJS, NodeJS, Docker, and many others. My expertise also lies within infrastructure designs and solutions, including IAC, AWS, Kubernetes and automated pipelines. This has permitted me to effectively take on technical decisions as well as support other senior engineers on my web app team. The greatest impact on my career trajectory has been an open approach to technology mindset, along with the willingness to adapt and learn emerging technologies--always with a focus on business needs. I feel strongly about team collaboration and clear communication in order to meet high-performance goals.At my core, building great, high-performance products is the reason I studied civil engineering and ultimately, the same reason I became a developer. I have always felt compelled to build with excellence, be it with concrete or coding.
