About Me

Hello, I'm Ayla, a dedicated software developer committed to crafting efficient and seamless software solutions. Currently, I bring my expertise to Cognizant Technology Solutions, where I collaborate on diverse projects with our esteemed client, Verizon.

Proficient in a wide array of technologies including Java/Spring Boot, Angular 11+, JavaScript, Python, AWS, GCP, Docker, and Terraform, I specialize in developing applications that address the dynamic requirements of businesses and end-users. My track record includes optimizing existing codebases for enhanced functionality and performance, creating bespoke applications tailored to specific needs, and seamlessly integrating third-party platforms like Salesforce, xMatters, ServiceNow, Five9, among others. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in facilitating the migration from AWS to GCP.

I hold certifications as an AWS Cloud Practitioner from Amazon Web Services and as an Angular Developer from Angular Training. Moreover, I have completed intensive Full Stack Coding Bootcamps in both Angular/Java and React/Node. Continuously striving for professional growth, I actively participate in internal training programs to stay updated with the latest industry trends and technologies.

Beyond my primary role, I proudly lead development efforts at Howling Wolfe Canoe and Kayak, an emerging startup. Here, I spearheaded the creation of a comprehensive full-stack web application, meticulously designing both customer and admin portals deployed across multiple environments to cater to the unique demands of the business.

Let's connect! I'm always eager to explore new opportunities, exchange insights, or collaborate on exciting ventures.
