Bio

A mid-senior .NET Developer with a strong passion for technology encompassing backend development to infrastructure, including machines and network systems. Driven by a constant pursuit of excellence and a desire to extend beyond the comfort zone, there is a consistent engagement with new technologies. Key attributes include dedication, concentration, and commitment, paired with effective communication skills, leadership, and dependability. The professional journey began as a Flutter developer intern and evolved into a proficient back-end developer, with expertise in .NET and AWS, establishing a robust professional identity. The approach to development is agnostic of specific frameworks or languages, viewing them as tools to achieve overarching goals, with a deeper passion rooted in continuous learning and growth within the profession.

Expertise spans both back-end and front-end domains, with familiarity and practical application of Microservices, Layered Architecture, Domain Driven Design, CQRS, Restful API, Unit Testing, CI/CD, and SAGA, among other architectures and practices. Professional enthusiasm for back-end development was ignited early on and further cultivated with deeper explorations into AWS solutions, leading to the attainment of an Architect certification.

Personal interests include a dedication to ongoing study, a varied gaming repertoire across numerous genres, chess, extensive reading of books and mangas, and a commitment to physical fitness through regular gym activities.
