Full-Stack Software Engineer
Full-stack engineer focused on maintainable architecture and developer experience.
About
I’m a full-stack software engineer with professional experience in IT and software development, delivering end-to-end solutions across backend services and frontend applications.
I take ownership of the systems I work on, contributing to design and architectural decisions while prioritizing clean, maintainable code that scales with team and business needs.
My focus extends beyond feature delivery—I care deeply about developer experience, user experience, and creating environments where teams can ship confidently.
My product owner background gives me a strong perspective on balancing technical excellence with real user needs. I approach engineering with a long-term mindset: building systems that are testable, observable, and easy to evolve.
Experience Snapshot
- End-to-end ownership of systems from design through deployment and maintenance.
- Applied Clean Architecture and CQRS patterns to build scalable, testable backend services.
- Managed CI/CD pipelines with GitLab, deploying containerized services to production environments.
- Worked with GCP for cloud infrastructure, implementing monitoring dashboards and participating in incident response.
- Improved developer experience through Dev Containers, Bash scripting, and standardized local development setups.
