About

A highly motivated Software Engineer with five years of experience in Cyber Security and Ad Tech, I excel in innovative problem-solving and technical leadership. As the team leader of the Atmosphe.RED project, developed in collaboration with University College London and IBM, I managed the project from inception to deployment, adhering to best software engineering practices. I also played a crucial role in developing an award-winning Android application recognized by the British Computer Society, engaging in all phases of software development. My expertise spans front-end and back-end development, with proficiency in various programming languages and frameworks, and experience in agile environments and code reviews.

Passionate about technology, I constantly seek challenges and aim to inspire others. In my free time, I build applications and experiment with projects available on my GitHub profile, which helps me stay updated with industry trends and refine my skills. My commitment to continuous learning includes researching design patterns to create robust, scalable systems. This proactive approach ensures my solutions are efficient, maintainable, and adaptable. My dedication to self-improvement and hands-on experience with diverse projects enhance my ability to deliver high-quality software and contribute significantly to any team or project. In addition, as a Medium writer, I publish software engineering articles every Wednesday, sharing my knowledge and insights with the developer community.
