Welcome to my GitHub profile's README

I possess over a decade of expertise in Information Technology, honed through diverse experiences in software product development. My specialization lies in quality assurance and creating innovative solutions. I have delved into various areas, including AI machine learning, Azure Development, and cybersecurity. From coding to managing datacenters, my journey reflects a broad spectrum of technical skills.

Here are some of my accomplishments as a software developer (SDE) or software developer in test (SDET) at Microsoft and beyond:

• Developed and deployed scalable solutions on Azure
• Led cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact projects on time and within budget.
• Spearheaded AI integration initiatives, resulting in an increase in automation.
• Identified and resolved critical issues, improving product quality and customer satisfaction.
• Contributed to open-source projects, collaborating with global developers to drive innovation.
• Received recognition for outstanding problem-solving skills and dedication to team success.
• Authored technical documentation and articles, sharing expertise with the community.
• Mentored junior team members, fostering their professional growth and development.

Outside of my professional pursuits, I delve into cybersecurity as an amateur bug bounty hunter for BugCrowd, where I've received awards for disclosing high-priority issues. Additionally, I indulge my passion for storytelling through my blog, Eclipse Drift: Cosmic Odyssey, crafting narratives in the realms of science fiction and fantasy. I also enjoy using my gaming PC for online games or taking out a tabletop game or puzzle for offline fun.
