About

I'm a Software Engineer with over 8 years of experience. Throughout my career, I have designed and built web apps, mobile apps, distributed services, RESTful APIs, CI/CD pipelines, data pipelines and other technical systems. Although I've always worked across the entire tech stack, I'm more skilled when it comes to Front End Engineering. Specifically, I've spent the last 4 years bringing to life digital products with React and React Native and I've been the Front End Lead of different teams collaborating closely with product management and UX design teams. My career has been driven by my eagerness to learn and improve myself day by day. I've particularly enjoyed working on Amazon Halo during the last year as it has been a very innovative experience. I would love to have the chance to learn further about HealthTech, Design Systems and Mobile and Platform Engineering in the near future. Furthermore, I'm a committed team player with a demonstrated ability to effectively collaborate with colleagues to achieve common objectives, and a passion for mentoring and guiding my peers towards individual and collective success. My volunteering experiences have helped me in becoming a better mentor and I look forward to being involved in more of these experiences.
