I am a full stack developer with having 10+ years of experience. Passionate to work in a multi cultural team to build great products and services that can contribute to the core of the company. Besides that I am willing to take challenge to work for innovative technologies and solutions that helps people or business to solve critical problems.
My strongest skills are PHP, MySQL, NodeJS, MongoDB, Microservice architecture, Docker, GCP/AWS. Besides that I am skilled in TDD (test driven development), agile process, CI/CD automation. Contributed to many open source projects. Everything is already available in my GitHub profile.
I'm looking for a senior developer position with a focus on backend. I am open to work with new technology stack and tools. Based on my past roles I am also a good fit to lead a development team. Looking to work with multi cultural team, become a part of some challenge to build something great.
One fact (outside of work) about me is I am contributing to open source projects and most of my leisure time I explore new tools and technology, love to read and write about new tech stack and solutions. Build staff that really helps people.
