About me

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, where I grew a strong passion for programming. During my university years, I tried to learn as much as possible and completed a successful internship with the AWS Catalyst team, gaining significant experience in cloud services.

After graduation, I began my career as a Junior Developer at HubSpot. My work primarily focused on content-related tasks, including blogs and SEO, which were largely front-end projects. This role significantly enhanced my JavaScript skills, which I later applied at Docker. At Docker, I contributed to the development of the Docker Desktop application and Docker Hub platform using ElectronJS and React.js. My high-quality work as a contractor led to an extended contract with the company.

I then joined the innovative team at Grit Software Systems, where I collaborated with the CEO, a former Microsoft department manager, to launch a valuable tool for Microsoft Azure developers. Following this, I worked at Haut.ai, a skincare solution company with AI analytics functionality. In this role, I collaborated with cross-functional teams, including designers, DevOps engineers, and AI engineers.

My journey continued at Azle.io, where I worked closely with the co-founders to build a robust communication tool featuring an integrable agent bot similar to ChatGPT. My preference for small teams and startups stems from the opportunity to wear multiple hats, which accelerates my learning and development. Currently, as a Lead Software Engineer at Progressive Victory, I am dedicated to amplifying citizens' voices and empowering democracy.
