I'm a software developer who began my career in 2011 as an engineer and have since specialized as a fullstack developer with strong expertise in PHP, C#, React, React Native, and Angular. I have designed and implemented scalable web and mobile applications, built robust back-end architectures, and crafted intuitive front-end experiences. My work spans projects such as internal CRM systems (including commercial modules and invoicing), commercial and logistics solutions for the food industry, and web platforms for the property and training sectors.

Education

I hold a degree in Information Technology Management from UNIP and a postgraduate degree in Software Engineering from IESB. This background strengthened my foundation in software development, systems analysis, project management, and software quality.

Certifications

I am certified as a Professional Scrum Master I and II by Scrum.org. These certifications reinforce my knowledge of Scrum, agile practices, team facilitation, backlog management, and continuous improvement in software delivery.
