About

I am a dedicated Senior Developer with a solid background in full-stack development, particularly with Xamarin, ASP.NET, and WCF Services. Over the past 6 years at Thoughtware, I've gained experience in Docker, and Azure DevOps Services. I focus on delivering high-quality software solutions and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive projects from start to finish. I am also continuously enhancing my skills in .NET, Python, and React through personal projects. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Pearson Institute of Higher Education, where I maintained strong academic performance and received several awards.
