What I'm looking for

I seek a Senior Full Stack Engineer role to leverage my 7 years of experience with React, Redux, Vue.js, Angular, Node.js, Express, and GraphQL. I aim to drive performance improvements, enhance user satisfaction, and lead innovative projects in a dynamic, collaborative team. I value continuous learning, Agile methodologies, and contributing to a forward-thinking environment.

As a seasoned full stack engineer with 7 years of experience, I have a proven track record of designing, developing, and deploying user-centric web applications that drive results. With a strong background in computer science and proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks, I excel in both frontend and backend development. My expertise in managing infrastructure, including cloud services and CI/CD pipelines, has led to significant improvements in application performance and user engagement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered over 10 projects, leveraging Agile methodologies to deliver clean, modular code that meets business needs and enhances user experience. My passion for creating scalable, efficient applications has resulted in a 95% user satisfaction rate. I am a collaborative leader with a proactive mindset, always seeking opportunities to improve processes and drive innovation.

In my current role at DESelect, I have engineered interactive user interfaces, implemented feature flags, and optimized software architecture for maintainability and zero downtime deployments. I am excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in software development and exploring new opportunities to make a meaningful impact.
