Experience

Summary

---

Software Developer with a background in psychology and hands-on development experience. I build web applications, APIs, and cloud-based systems, combining technical skills in Python, C#, and JavaScript with an understanding of user interaction. Experienced in full-stack development and cloud technologies, alongside work in simulation and immersive applications, I contribute across the software development lifecycle within Agile teams to deliver practical and reliable solutions.
