About Me
With footsteps as gentle as a kitten’s and curiosity as vast as the cosmos, I approach software development with calm determination and a committed mindset.
I believe great code is crafted not only through logic but also with patience, empathy, and a deep understanding of what truly matters.
- I have hands-on experience in pet healthcare and fintech (insurtech) start-ups, where I developed scalable backend systems and collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver user-centred solutions.
- Before becoming a developer, I worked as a primary school teacher, which provided me with strong domain expertise in edtech and a deep understanding of learner needs.
- My main focus is backend development using Java and Spring, with a particular interest in API design, system architecture, and building internal tools. I also enjoy frontend development and have contributed to projects using TypeScript and React.js, often taking on full-stack responsibilities.
- Within agile teams, I’ve worked closely with engineers, product managers, designers, and marketers—facilitating planning meetings, proposing improvements, and sharing ongoing feedback to enhance product quality. I also supported post-launch monitoring and iteration.
- From March 2024, I spent a year living in Dublin, Ireland, where I developed my communication skills in an English-speaking environment and broadened my understanding of cultural diversity. I participated in local IT community events, strengthening my professional network, and also formed a team to take part in a local AI hackathon.
