I’m a Software Architect with 9+ years of experience wireframing, scoping, designing, developing, implementing, integrating, scaling, testing, debugging and maintaining various software solutions. My technical expertise is mostly in backend development, DevOps, and cloud computing, although I worked with iOS and frontend as well. Check out my profile and see the skills and achievements I’ve developed throughout my career in Node.js, Laravel, Rust, AWS, Docker, and more.
Having worked in R&D settings, agencies, and as an independent contractor, I understand how to adapt to different team dynamics and project requirements. I especially enjoy roles that blend technical depth with resource management and strategic planning, such as engineering management.
P.S. I am looking for Engineering Manager jobs exclusively.
