About Me

I am a Computer Science graduate from the University of Central Florida with a strong foundation in full-stack development and cloud engineering. My experience spans designing scalable systems, crafting user-friendly applications, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies to deliver impactful solutions.


Currently, as a Mid-Level Full Stack Engineer at AlterCall, I work with technologies like JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS to design scalable architectures, build robust APIs, and develop end-to-end features across the stack. I contribute to both front-end and back-end development — from integrating Figma designs into React components to implementing efficient server-side logic and database structures. I thrive in fast-paced environments and consistently deliver high-performance, well-architected solutions under tight deadlines.


In a previous role, I led back-end development for a fully responsive web application, enhancing social networking features through custom algorithms and ensuring scalability using AWS S3, API Gateway, MySQL RDS, Prisma ORM, and Lambda functions.


My workflow emphasizes thorough documentation, Agile methodologies, and consistent progress tracking with tools like Jira — enabling seamless collaboration and efficient delivery throughout the development lifecycle.


Outside of work, I’ve explored projects in machine learning, robot vision, and artificial intelligence, which have deepened my skills in backend systems, database management, data analysis, and neural network design.


My goal is to contribute my expertise to a dynamic team, continuously grow as a developer, and help drive innovative solutions that align with company objectives.

Experience

Mid-Level Full Stack Engineer - AlterCall

April 2024 - Present

As a Mid-Level Full Stack Engineer, I design and develop scalable architectures, optimize backend workflows, and build intuitive user experiences. I specialize in building robust APIs, enhancing performance with caching, and integrating third-party services like Stripe and AWS. I also collaborate with designers to convert Figma mockups into production-ready React applications. At work, I actively contribute to Agile methodologies, including Scrum and sprints, to plan and execute projects efficiently. I leverage Jira for ticket management, ensuring streamlined communication, progress tracking, and timely delivery of features.
