Ion Bazan
Lead Software Engineer
I am a Singapore-based Lead Software Engineer with fintech, travel and events background, who is passionate about good practices, clean code and containerized scalable environments.
With over 9 years of experience in Software Engineering, I have a deep understanding of frameworks’ internals and I love writing domain-oriented and framework-agnostic code that is easy to test, port and refactor.
I am contributing to several Open-Source projects and released a few packages that are used by many other developers.
