Profile Summary
I am a backend engineer with a passion for building meaningful, fault tolerant, products. I have around 4 years of experience working mostly in startups. I enjoy being challenged and working on projects that require me to work outside my comfort and knowledge set, while continuing to learn new languages and development techniques. At my last job, I successfully architected and led a team of 8 developers to develop the backend structure of an asset management application for internal use.
