ABOUT ME

With over 7 years of hands-on experience in software development and testing, I have honed my expertise in building robust, scalable applications and ensuring their reliability through rigorous testing. My technical toolkit includes Javascript, Node.js, React, Cypress, Jest, Mocha, and Chai, along with proficiency in CI/CD tools that streamline development workflows.

In addition to my technical skills, I have taken on leadership roles, guiding teams in developing and delivering high-quality software solutions. My leadership approach is centered on fostering collaboration, mentoring team members, and driving innovation while maintaining a strong focus on best practices and code quality.

My work with databases like PostgreSQL and MongoDB enables me to design and implement efficient data solutions that complement my full-stack development skills. Additionally, tools like Postman and Jest have been instrumental in my API testing, ensuring that the applications I work on are both performant, documented, and secure.

I thrive in environments where I can lead by example, contribute to a culture of continuous learning, and empower others to achieve their best. I aim to continue leading teams in delivering impactful projects while staying at the forefront of technological advancements.
