SAR SHALOM SIMCHI

Senior Software Engineer

Summary

With 18 years of experience in software development, specializing in Java for 15 years, I have a strong foundation in this field. Starting as a full-stack developer and now focusing on backend development, I have gained valuable insights into the entire software development lifecycle. My expertise extends to both relational and non-relational databases, with extensive experience in the former and two years of hands-on work with the latter. A team player with excellent communication skills and a proactive, can-do attitude, I am proficient in writing and implementing specifications. I thrive on finding creative solutions to problems and am self-motivated and eager to learn new technologies. I am equally comfortable working independently or leading others. Known for my quick learning abilities, I bring a bright, fun personality to the workplace along with a good sense of humor.
