About

In 2019, I was hired by Fuga Media to help alleviate the workload of their team for a single project. Delivering this project on time and exceeding expectations led to more opportunities within the company. Over the years, I took on multiple projects and eventually became an integral part of the team until June 2023.

Helping others grow in their careers was incredibly rewarding, and I was dedicated to setting them on a path to a valuable future. My experience as a full stack web developer allowed me to guide the team through complex technical processes and make crucial architectural decisions.

Fuga Media boasted a diverse team comprising designers, developers, content managers, SEO specialists, and marketeers. This dynamic environment fostered creativity and innovation. I played a key role in bridging the gap between various departments, ensuring seamless collaboration and effective communication. My involvement extended beyond development; when the scrum master was unavailable, I stepped in to lead SCRUM meetings, maintaining the agile workflow and keeping projects on track.

As a full stack web developer at Fuga Media, I was involved in numerous technical processes, from front-end design to back-end implementation. My comprehensive skill set allowed me to contribute to all aspects of the project lifecycle.

The projects I delivered were not only successful but also helped Fuga Media grow. My ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality earned the trust of my clients and colleagues alike. This consistent performance was key to the company’s expansion and success in a competitive market.
