About Me

As a Solutions Engineer at Meltwater, I bridge the gap between complex technical challenges and innovative software solutions. My journey began with a strong foundation in Computer Applications, leading me to specialize in architecting and delivering high-performance, scalable systems.

I thrive in dynamic environments, leading cross-functional teams to build cutting-edge applications, including a fully distributed system processing millions of streaming documents daily. My expertise spans the entire software development lifecycle, from gathering requirements and handling client feedback to implementing robust backend services with NestJS and OpenSearch, and intuitive Angular frontends.

Beyond technical execution, I am passionate about mentoring junior engineers, fostering their growth, and empowering them to take ownership of projects. I am committed to driving architectural improvements, enhancing security, and establishing coding standards that elevate team efficiency and product quality.
