I am a dedicated and enthusiastic Team Lead Software Engineer with six years of experience in software development and team management. Throughout my career, I have successfully led various teams, driving projects from inception to completion while consistently improving performance and efficiency. My expertise lies in Java development, cloud technologies, and microservice architecture, with a strong focus on optimizing app performance and reducing manual testing. I have a proven track record of increasing app performance by 50% and cutting down manual testing by 70% in several projects. As a leader, I prioritize building and motivating teams, ensuring effective collaboration between product management, UX, and engineering to deliver high-quality software solutions. Currently, as a Tech Lead Software Engineer at Softserve, I lead a team of engineers working on a dynamic banking application portal for one of Asia's largest banks. My role involves performing code reviews, preparing architectural artifacts, and ensuring secure and efficient development practices. Prior to this, I held leadership roles at Capgemini Engineering and Grid Dynamics, where I implemented agile methodologies, improved team performance, and delivered high-throughput systems and automation solutions. My diverse experience across industries, including finance, e-commerce, and manufacturing, has equipped me with the technical and leadership skills to tackle complex challenges and drive successful outcomes for my teams and clients.Tech Stack
