Software engineer with 4+ years of experience in React and TypeScript. Focused on delivering quality results within a reasonable timeframe, with automated tests to avoid regressions. With a keen eye for edge cases (e.g., race conditions, data conflicts).
Hi there! Welcome to my Profile =). In a few words, I would describe myself as a problem solver engineer that loves challenges, a good teammate, a leader, and a responsible decision maker. As a Computer Engineer with a Master's Degree in Computational Modeling, I have a strong background in mathematics, algorithms, and numerical methods. With that, I understand how things work "under the hood" which helps me figure out proper solutions and adapt to new techs and challenges. Furthermore, I am AWS Certified which helps me to increase my work scope through the biggest Cloud company. I'm good with people, and I do care about them. I know how to teach, mentor, and guide them to the right path. I can explain technical issues to non-technical people and understand non-technical issues when roles are reversed. I am able to make decisions on my own. I share my opinion gladly, but when a team decision is made I get fully behind it. During my career, Python and Javascript are the languages that I've been using for the past 7 years, but besides that, I've been using many other languages and technologies and it's not hard for me to learn something new - that's what I've been doing my whole career. During this time, I worked as a Fullstack Engineer and Backend Engineer. And in the past 4 years as Senior Software Engineer, Lead Sofware Engineer, and Solutions Architect for a US-Based Insurance Company dealing with clients directly. Finally, it is good to mention that **I have United States Visa: B1/B2.**
