About Me

I am a Software Engineer, Computer Science graduate, and IT Consultant specializing in backend engineering, databases and cloud computing. My expertise lies in NestJS, Node.js, database systems, AWS serverless computing, as well as scripting and automation.
With a strong foundation in these technologies, I excel in creating efficient and scalable solutions that seamlessly handle large amounts of data and traffic.

In addition to my proficiency in backend and web development, I am highly involved in Web3, blockchain, and smart-contract related projects. I actively contribute to various web3 initiatives, bringing my technical skills and innovative mindset to drive success in this rapidly evolving space.

As a developer committed to continuous learning, I have transitioned from my previous focus on Angular and .NET to leverage the power of NestJS and Node.js. My experience extends to developing APIs and microservices using Node.js or Python, enabling seamless integrations with diverse systems and platforms.

Adept at problem-solving with a keen eye for detail, I have successfully delivered high-quality results on time and have exceeded many expectations. Whether working independently, within a small agile team, or in a larger, structured project, I adapt easily and excel in diverse environments.

I am confident in my ability to bring substantial value to any organization and am enthusiastic about the ongoing journey of learning and growth as a full stack developer.
