Specialization: Backend Engineer (Kotlin / Java)
I am an experienced backend software engineer with a track record of designing, developing, and delivering optimized and scalable applications. With over 5 years of industry experience, I have worked with a range of technologies including Kotlin, Python, Golang, and more. My problem-solving approach is rooted in simplicity and creativity. I strive to simplify complex problems and think outside the box, leveraging my non-linear thinking skills to visualize dynamic data structures and abstract algorithms. As a science and engineering-driven professional, I seek to understand the "know-why" and "know-how" of all solutions I propose. I am passionate about creating elegant, effective solutions that impact the lives of over 100.000 people.
