Senior Technical Lead Software Engineer Cloud Native and Full Stack Software Developer.
Software Engineering is not simply code and infrastructure. It's breaking down the intricacies of a problem and it's context. It's designing the systems that will constantly evolve and improve solutions. As an IT professional with more than 10 years of experience, I've understood that check-listing Best Practices is not enough to guarantee exceptional software. A well defined Architecture, predicting System Qualities, implementing Evolutionary Prototyping, and enhancing Stakeholder Communication are, among others, what sets apart functional software from industry game-changers.
