@philippeterson
Experienced software engineer specializing in full-stack development.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned software engineer with over eight years of experience in full-stack development, specializing in building scalable applications and innovative solutions. My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Florida, and I have since honed my skills across various technologies including React, Python, and Go.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to significant projects at leading companies such as Amplitude Analytics and GM Cruise Automation. I played a pivotal role in developing core features that drove early company growth and enhanced user engagement. My passion for collaboration and mentorship has also led me to guide newer developers, ensuring that we deliver high-quality features ahead of schedule.
In addition to my professional experience, I co-founded a project that successfully recreated a classic game, which was later acquired by Cyan Inc. This blend of technical expertise and creative project management reflects my commitment to excellence in every endeavor I undertake.
