@ivanpacheco
Software engineer and FE lead building scalable React SaaS and cloud-backed systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Software Engineer focused on building high-impact user experiences through scalable web architecture and strong frontend engineering. I’ve led React-based products, mentored frontend engineers through code reviews and technical direction, and owned frontend codebases while collaborating closely with product, design, and backend teams.
From a Microsoft internship building a Dynamics 365 app with custom plugins and business logic, to leading React analytics and reusable design systems, and architecting ARC XP CMS customizations for major U.S. media clients, I bring a practical, delivery-focused mindset. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity and also freelance full-cycle systems with React, Node.js, MySQL, and AWS, spanning UI/UX mockups through CI/CD and post-launch maintenance.
