My passion is to build great software products that delight the user. I am proficient in both front-end(ReactJS) and back-end (Python, NodeJS, databases) technologies. Beyond my ability to effectively solve technical challenges, I am an effective team player and understand the business, the user experience along with the technical aspects of my role.

I am currently working as an Instructor at the University of London, and working as a freelance software engineer for an electric vehicle company.

I seek a backend engineer role at a company solving challenging problems.

Experience

Software Engineer (Freelance)

I analysed an international electric vehicle merchant's needs and presented software solutions to effectively scale company's IT infrastructure. This included redesigning the frontend, partitioning the database, and integrating the inventory database with store database.

I then migrated data and website to new platform, integrated multiple stores and databases. I also added custom front-end and backend-functionality to improve the user interface and solve inventory issues.
