ABOUT ME
Senior Software Developer with 18+ years of experience
Senior Software Developer with 18+ years of experience

I have a deep passion for coding, and I often find myself engrossed in it like a dedicated code enthusiast, some could say a typical code monkey. I truly appreciate the profound impact that comes with sharing knowledge and how it fosters personal and professional growth in the realm of software development.

On a personal note, I'm striving to become a skilled reverse engineer, and I see the role of a Codementor as a crucial milestone in this journey. It's an opportunity not only to give back to the community by aiding fellow developers in overcoming challenges and building confidence but also to align with my overarching aspiration of mastering my own objectives.

Witnessing the achievements of others brings me great joy, and I eagerly anticipate the chance to positively influence their coding journeys.

I am an Experienced and dedicated Full Stack Developer with over a decade of expertise in pushing the boundaries of development across various application platforms. I prioritize the fusion of design, aesthetics, and functionality. Proficient in crafting native enterprise-level desktop, mobile, and web applications. Well-versed in multiple programming languages, I excel in both independent work and collaboration within teams of any size.

Additionally, I bring a complementary QA background, utilizing test-driven development to identify and rectify defects effectively. Skilled in leading cross-functional teams and working closely with stakeholders to meet business objectives in a timely manner. I am highly adaptable to embracing fresh and innovative UI/UX designs and can swiftly acquire and apply new skills and knowledge in fast-paced environments.

In 2006, I completed the fast-track Object-Oriented Software Development program at SAIT's Polytechnic Institute with high honours, earning a perfect 4.0 GPA. The course encompassed HTML 5, C#, VB.Net, and Java. Recognizing the ever-changing nature of technology, I am committed to staying updated on the most cutting-edge advancements by continuously acquiring new skills and languages, like AI and Machine Learning.
