About me

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with over 4 years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications using Python frameworks such as Django, FastAPI, and Flask, as well as JavaScript technologies including React, React Native, Angular, Next.js, and TypeScript. I specialize in API development, frontend state management, cloud hosting on AWS, and secure authentication mechanisms. I have a strong passion for improving developer experience by creating reusable components and building impactful products that drive growth.

Throughout my career, I have gained experience leading agile teams and collaborating cross-functionally to deliver polished user experiences. I enjoy mentoring junior developers and facilitating agile processes such as sprint planning and project delivery. I am committed to maintaining high code quality and best practices in collaborative development environments.

I have worked on various projects including e-commerce platforms and payment gateways, contributing to both frontend and backend development. My expertise extends to cloud and DevOps practices, including AWS services like EC2, S3, and RDS, as well as CI/CD basics. I am skilled in testing methodologies including unit and integration testing using Jest.

I am continuously seeking opportunities to grow technically and contribute to curriculum improvements by integrating real-world projects and tools. I am passionate about software engineering and enjoy working in dynamic, remote, and hybrid environments.

I am fluent in English and have experience working with international teams, including remote roles based in Norway. I am eager to leverage my skills to build innovative software solutions and contribute to impactful projects.
