I’m a builder at heart. Whether I’m developing applications for work, crafting furniture for my home, renovating a house, or diving into fun side projects just for the challenge, I’m always in "make" mode. I love finding ways to improve things, solve problems, and bring ideas to life.As a back-end software engineer with over three years of experience, I specialize in building and enhancing cloud-based microservices using GoLang, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. I’m also comfortable working with languages like Rust, Java, and Python, which lets me tackle a wide range of challenges. I thrive in environments where I can see how all the pieces fit together—from development to deployment—and work across the entire product pipeline.Before diving into tech, I spent five years teaching high school math, where I developed strong collaboration, problem-solving, and analytical skills. My background in education gives me a unique perspective when it comes to mentoring, communication, and approaching problems from different angles.I’m passionate about building secure, scalable applications that make an impact, and I’m always learning new things—whether it’s picking up new tools or diving into new programming languages. Right now, I’m learning Angular to expand my skills into full-stack development, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.
