Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience in tech (mainly fintech and insurtech). I create clarity where there was confusion/chaos before. I am an expert in listening to customers, understanding their needs and requirements. I make clients happy by solving problems in the simplest ways possible.

I'm walking the path of the Jedi. I started as a young padawan and grew into who I am now, fighting with illogical and unneeded complexities. Along the way gathered hard skills in the backend, DevOps, Cloud, QA, frontend and a little bit of mobile. As a true Jedi, I've learned to manipulate abstractions (boxes and arrows). I have an ability to identify the customer's needs and pain points. I mentor peers and lead by example.

May the Force be with you.
