What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote position that values creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills.

I am a seasoned JavaScript developer with over 15 years of experience, starting my journey in the early 90s with a keen interest in electronics and low-level coding. My career has evolved from coding to incorporating graphic design, ultimately leading me to web development. I have a strong preference for backend development, particularly with Node.js, while also exploring various frameworks and tools to enhance my projects.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to significant projects such as the Maestra Suite SaaS platform, where I developed automated solutions for audio-to-text transcriptions and video captions. As the lead developer at Migoda, I managed a team to create a loyalty-based accommodation platform, implementing a robust payment system and enhancing workflow through innovative data synchronization methods. My diverse skill set includes proficiency in various databases, project management methodologies, and design tools, allowing me to approach projects from multiple angles.
