Summary
I'm an ambitious and highly motivated Software Engineer with a strong foundation in both software development and quality assurance. Over the past six years, I've built a well-rounded perspective — starting with three years in QA, where I developed an eye for precision and reliability, and transitioning into nearly 4 years as a Software Engineer, where I focus on building efficient, scalable, and user-centered solutions.
I'm Passionate about tackling challenging problems, learning continuously, and creating meaningful impact through technology. I thrive in environments that push me to grow, collaborate, and innovate — and I'm driven by the goal of making a real difference through the software I help build.
