About

Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience in designing, developing, and deploying scalable web applications. I specialize in full-stack development with strong expertise in both front-end and back-end technologies, with a passion for writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code.

Throughout my career, I've progressed from Junior Software Engineer to Team Lead, gaining extensive experience in Agile environments, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration. I've successfully led development teams, managed project timelines, and delivered complex healthcare and enterprise applications.

Currently serving as Team Lead and Project Lead at Cloud Peak Technologies, where I mentor development teams, provide technical direction, and ensure successful project delivery. I'm experienced in implementing microservices architecture, optimizing database performance, and integrating VOIP technologies like Twilio and Agora for telemedicine solutions.
