Personal statement

With over a decade of dedicated experience in coding, I have amassed extensive expertise in software development. Throughout my career, I have predominantly focused on Microservices and backend-intensive projects. My dedication lies in crafting stateless, well-structured, and scalable microservices, leveraging technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

I am a results-driven professional known for my diligence, commitment to quality, and profound industry knowledge. With over nine years of hands-on experience in production environments, I have successfully delivered a multitude of projects utilizing a diverse range of frameworks and programming languages, including but not limited to Laravel/PHP, Golang, NodeJS, TypeScript, and Server-side Swift.

In addition to my proficiency in software development, I hold a strong affinity for IoT (Internet of Things). This enthusiasm has led me to build an extensive collection of Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards, culminating in the development of several compelling home-based projects.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my professional journey.
