About
I started my software development career building PHP-backed backend systems, creating efficient and scalable RESTful APIs with frameworks like CodeIgniter and Silex. This solid foundation taught me the importance of clean architecture and system performance.
As a full-stack developer, I also build dynamic and responsive user interfaces using frameworks like Vue and React. This allows me to understand and manage a project's entire lifecycle, from the database to the user's browser. I've also used PHP and the Laravel framework on past projects to create a variety of web solutions.
My work today centers on the power of the cloud. I have implemented solutions on AWS, using S3 for storage, SES for email, and API Gateway for managing microservices. For example, I developed a microservice that significantly optimized email delivery speed by orchestrating these AWS services.
During my studies at university, I used Java to develop a banking application as a school project. This project focused on building a secure and robust system, which strengthened my understanding of object-oriented programming and application security principles. Currently, I'm expanding my knowledge in the areas of Agentic AI and Machine Learning to add to my portfolio, with a focus on building and integrating intelligent systems using AWS.
