TL;DR
My name is Valanto, and I'm a software developer with several years of experience across diverse domains and technologies. I've consistently worked as a full-stack developer, contributing to both frontend and backend systems. Over time, I naturally transitioned into a team lead role; a position I find deeply rewarding, as it combines my passion for technology with mentoring and collaboration.
Strengths
I work across the full stack, deploying production apps and managing databases. I focus on backend–frontend interplay to build clean, responsive, user-friendly experiences.
I've worked on projects integrating internal services and third-party APIs, gaining a solid grasp of system interoperability, clean API design, and common integration pitfalls.
I've been fortunate to lead and work alongside great people and support their growth within inspiring teams, while maintaining team spirit even in remote setups.
I naturally enjoy problem-solving—whether debugging or streamlining processes, I love making things work.
