Software Engineer crafting elegant solutions through clean code and thoughtful design.
About
I'm a recent graduate pursuing a Master of Science in Information Systems at Northeastern University, Boston.
With a foundation in full-stack development and cloud technologies, I specialize in building scalable web applications using modern frameworks and microservices architecture. My experience spans from enterprise-level application development at Accenture to industrial automation solutions at Siemens.
I'm passionate about writing clean, maintainable code and creating intuitive user experiences. Currently seeking opportunities where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue growing as a software engineer.
