I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a passion for building elegant, scalable solutions that make a real impact. My journey in software development has been driven by an insatiable curiosity for how things work and a desire to create technology that enhances people's lives. I thrive at the intersection of beautiful design and robust engineering, where pixel-perfect user interfaces meet bulletproof backend systems.

With over 10 years of professional experience across insurance, human resources, and fintech industries, I've specialized in architecting and delivering enterprise-grade applications serving thousands of users daily. My professional expertise centers on Java/Spring Boot and Laravel/PHP ecosystems, building mission-critical systems that meet the rigorous demands of enterprise environments—high availability, security, scalability, and maintainability. I'm passionate about simple, elegant solutions that solve complex problems, which draws me to explore Go for its minimalist philosophy and powerful concurrency model in side projects.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with diverse teams across startups, digital agencies, and established tech companies. These experiences have taught me the importance of clear communication, collaborative problem-solving, and writing code that not only works today but remains maintainable tomorrow. I believe great software is built by great teams, and I'm committed to fostering environments where innovation thrives.

Beyond coding, I'm passionate about mentoring aspiring developers and sharing knowledge with my team. When I'm not at my keyboard, you'll find me gaming, 3D printing custom projects, or tinkering with electronics and Arduino boards. I love the intersection of software and hardware, and I'm always exploring emerging technologies and experimenting with new frameworks. I believe continuous learning isn't just important—it's essential in our rapidly evolving field.

I'm always excited to connect with fellow developers, discuss innovative projects, or explore new opportunities. Whether you need technical consultation, want to discuss a project opportunity, or just want to chat about the latest in web development—I'd love to hear from you!

Currently open to new opportunities including full-time positions, contract work, and technical advisory roles. I'm particularly interested in projects involving Java/Spring Boot, Laravel, Angular, and cloud-native architectures. With strong experience in Angular, I'm passionate about building modern, reactive enterprise applications. I'm also eager to work on Go projects professionally, drawn by its elegant simplicity and philosophy of building clean, maintainable systems.
