Summary

I’m a Senior Software Engineer at Equentis with deep experience in the fintech space, working across the full JavaScript stack to build robust, scalable applications. With a strong command of both frontend and backend technologies—as well as hands-on experience with a range of AWS cloud services—I focus on delivering solutions that are not just functional, but efficient and business-impactful.

Over the years, I’ve grown into a developer who thinks beyond code—prioritizing quality over quantity and always approaching problems with a critical, solution-oriented mindset. My motivation lies in solving real-world challenges that drive meaningful results and help businesses grow.

While I continue to enjoy coding and architecting systems, I’m also open to taking on responsibilities beyond development, including team leadership and project management. I believe that continuous learning, clear thinking, and a balanced mix of technical and strategic work are key to long-term success.
