Additionally, I founded Happy Hour Deliveries, an innovative tech-based startup, and worked as a Senior Developer / Team Lead at Epic Technologies, where I implemented strategies to reduce reworks and improve application stability. My expertise lies in driving efficiency improvements, leading projects, and mentoring junior engineers. I am passionate about creating seamless user experiences and delivering high-quality software solutions.
