🔧 Technical Expertise

Database: Skilled in designing and optimizing relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and familiar with NoSQL databases like MongoDB.

Frontend Magic: Adept at translating design mockups into responsive, mobile first, user-friendly interfaces using HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript libraries.

🚀 Key Achievements:

Collaborated with designers, product managers, and other developers to ensure seamless integration of UI/UX design, responsive layouts, and robust server-side functionality.

Pioneered the migration of legacy systems to latest versions and modern tools, enabling developers to refactor complex solutions into more concise and modular components, resulting in less build/load times and better developer/user experience.

Orchestrated collaboration between development, design, and QA teams, resulting in streamlined communication, faster issue resolution, and a cohesive development process that reduced the time-to-market by 20%
