What I Do
I'm a software engineer with strong experience in backend development, APIs, and cloud infrastructure, particularly within AWS. I began my career at Amazon, where I built scalable services at a global level, and now contribute to high-impact projects at Rapp. I'm always looking to grow as an engineer and am excited to take on new challenges that push my skills and expand my perspective.
Outside of work, I love reading and dancing, and recently have started teaching dance classes in the city!
