Software engineer (backend)
Send a job offer directly to this candidate
In June 2022, I took a deep dive into software engineering with the silicon valley-based Holberton School, after teaching Mathematics for about six years.
This decision was taken as I began to understand more about my personality, and myself as having a knack for problem-solving.
The 13-month, 10-hours-daily rigorous program at Holberton has molded me into an engineer having sound skills in DevOps and frontend, with specialization in backend technologies like Python, NodeJS, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Express, etc.
While I am currently (and always) expanding my skill set, I have strong passion for solving problems, logic, and seeing things work effectively and efficiently.
