What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for career growth.

I am a Senior React Native Engineer with over 12 years of experience in delivering scalable, high-performance mobile applications. My expertise lies in utilizing React Native, React.js, JavaScript, and Redux to build cross-platform mobile frameworks that provide real-time, responsive user experiences. I thrive on transforming complex challenges into intuitive solutions, driving user growth through innovative feature development and beautiful UI/UX.

In my recent role as a Senior React Native Full Stack Engineer at Honda, I led the architecture and development of a scalable automotive fleet management platform. I successfully integrated WebSockets and RESTful APIs for real-time tracking, while migrating legacy systems to a microservices architecture on AWS. My work included designing data visualization dashboards and optimizing data flow, which significantly enhanced the user experience.

Throughout my career, I have consistently focused on building responsive mobile interfaces and optimizing performance. I have a proven track record of implementing CI/CD pipelines and automating deployments, ensuring seamless release cycles. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in data visualization and agile methodologies to create impactful mobile applications.
