## About Me

I am a Software Engineer with over 9 years of experience specializing in building web and mobile applications using modern technologies such as React.js, React Native, AngularJS, and Node.js. Throughout my career, I have designed, developed, and deployed full-stack solutions for real-time applications, data pipelines, and user-facing products. I am skilled in distributed development, automated workflows, and integrating frontend and backend systems to deliver seamless user experiences.

I have a strong background working in agile teams, collaborating closely with product managers, QA teams, and fellow engineers to optimize feature performance and deployment pipelines. My experience spans mobile, web, and backend projects, allowing me to contribute effectively across the entire software development lifecycle.

In my recent roles, I have developed and maintained applications for live sports investment platforms, real estate investment platforms, and competitive mobile gaming platforms. I have also led development efforts, mentored junior engineers, and performed code reviews to ensure high-quality standards.

I am proficient in a wide range of technical skills including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, SQL, and cloud platforms such as AWS EC2. My expertise extends to frontend frameworks like React.js and React Native, backend technologies including Node.js and various databases, and tools for automation and deployment.

I am passionate about creating scalable, real-time applications that engage users and meet business needs. I continuously seek opportunities to learn new technologies and improve my craft as a software engineer.
