As a passionate software engineer with a focus on web development and testing, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. My primary goal is to apply my technical expertise throughout the entire software life cycle to ensure the production and delivery of top-notch products and services that exceed client expectations. With a strong background in React, NodeJS, and databases (both NoSQL and SQL), I am well-equipped to build web applications that handle large amounts of data. I possess a deep understanding of software development principles, a natural talent for problem-solving, and an exceptional attention to detail.

I am a passionate programmer with a focus on web development and testing. My primary goal is to apply my technical skills throughout the software life cycle to ensure that first-class products and services are produced and delivered that exceed customer expectations. I have extensive knowledge in React, NodeJS and databases (both NoSQL and SQL) which allows me to build web applications that work with large amounts of data. I have a deep understanding of software development principles, a natural talent for problem solving, and exceptional attention to detail. I have experience in Onda Teta SRL as a software developer (Backend). Here I have developed a successful barebones web application (Teta-app) serving over 180K users using NodeJS, Express JS and Mongo DB. I created and integrated Ayaya_query - a custom MongoDB (npm) query package to streamline database operations. I also optimized DevOps tasks with automation using AWS, Docker and GitHub. In addition, I have integrated third party APIs such as Stripe and Zapier, improving the functionality of Teta-app. I also contributed to the performance improvement of the backend by migrating some of the code to Supabase Serverless, further optimized through edge functions. I also had experience working for TheJitu.com as a software developer. Here I collaborated with the team to create a backend for the user dashboard using NodeJS and MSSQL Server. I also tracked and improved the performance of the front end by 15%, documented the changes in the application and updated them. I have trained and mentored 15 software development interns. I developed reusable React components and implemented them successfully in several projects, which significantly reduced the development time. I also implemented and updated application modules under the guidance of senior software developers. I previously worked as an Associate Software Developer at the Momi Foundation where I developed user friendly web pages using JavaScript, Bootstrap, HTML and CSS. I also created high quality mockups and prototypes with eye-catching visuals. I am efficient
