As a software engineer, I apply my full stack engineering, data engineering, and solutions architecture skills to create efficient and innovative software applications. I have several years of experience in software engineering, working with various technologies and frameworks such as, Node.js, python, and Java.

I enjoy the challenge of solving complex problems and using technology to improve the lives of people and society. My background in civil engineering gives me a unique perspective and allows me to focus on the big picture when developing solutions for software applications. I have won awards at hackathons, such as Weather Or Not, an event scheduling app with weather notifications, and CandyBot, an emotional AI chatbot.
