Experience
Senior Software Engineer
As a Senior Software Engineer, I lead critical Magento/Adobe Commerce projects, architecting scalable and secure solutions for high-traffic eCommerce stores. I mentor junior developers, conduct code reviews, and handle complex integrations (e.g., Azure Search AI, ShipStation, ERP sync). I specialize in building reusable custom modules, optimizing site performance, and ensuring Magento best practices across projects. Also experienced in handling B2B features, PWA compatibility, and troubleshooting live site issues with minimal downtime.

In my role as a Software Engineer, I took ownership of feature development and custom Magento modules, implementing complex business logic and third-party integrations (ERP, payment gateways, shipping providers). I was actively involved in end-to-end development cycles—from gathering requirements to deployment. Delivered performance improvements, contributed to Magento upgrades, and ensured adherence to coding standards and best practices. Worked with asynchronous events, cron jobs, and GraphQL APIs for modern eCommerce needs.

As an Associate Software Engineer, I gained hands-on experience with Magento 2 development, focusing on learning core concepts such as module creation, theme customization, and Magento architecture.

Built a strong foundation in PHP, MySQL, and frontend technologies like Knockout.js and RequireJS.

In my role as a Web Developer, I worked on designing and developing responsive websites, handling both frontend and backend development using PHP and JavaScript.
