What I'm looking for

Seeking a hybrid or remote full-stack developer role where I can apply my skills in building scalable software solutions. I value innovative, collaborative environments that promote professional growth and a culture that supports personal development and accountability.

I'm Devon Gawley, a dedicated Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Tallinn, Estonia. With a BSc in Software Development from the Tallinn University of Technology and five years of professional experience, I specialise in creating scalable, robust web applications and services. My technical skills span across both front-end and back-end technologies including React, Redux, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Kafka, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java and more.

At Katana Cloud Inventory, I significantly improved system performance and scalability by implementing modern design patterns and cutting-edge technologies such as KafkaConnect and Debezium. This initiative reduced data transfer latency by over 70% and resulted in substantial cost savings on cloud infrastructure.

My career highlights include developing a critical government service under a tight deadline during the COVID-19 pandemic and building and maintaining an online store that integrated complex ERP systems for streamlined operations.

I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments and am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems. As I seek new opportunities, I am eager to bring my background in software development and project management to a forward-thinking company that values innovation and quality.
