Skills

Graduated in Computer Science, with coursework in multiple programming languages, OOP, data structures and algorithms, AI, etc.

Started my career as a full-stack developer, then later specialized in Angular due to the salary gap with specific expertise.

I explore various programming languages, frameworks, and tools. However, over time, unused skills fade.

Even though I have more experience in Angular, I don't use it for every problem. I choose the best-fit technology based on product requirements and what needs to be solved. I can adapt to different languages and frameworks as needed.

I follow a balanced approach that includes DRY, KISS, YAGNI, SOLID principles, TDD/BDD, modular design (Separation of Concerns), and UI development with stateless/stateful components.
