Storm Van der Pol
@stormvanderpol
Senior full-stack engineer focused on shipping high-performance React/Django products that improve user satisfaction.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Dedicated Full-Stack Engineer with 8 years of experience developing and shipping responsive web applications. I’m proficient in React and Django, and I focus on turning complex business logic and algorithmic features into measurable product outcomes.
At Resumedia (Nov 2020 – Present), I’ve developed features across React and Django, improving feature deployment speed by 40% through optimized workflows and agile methodologies. I designed and implemented RESTful APIs with Python and Django, increasing data retrieval efficiency by 25% and boosting performance for 10,000+ users.
I craft responsive, accessible UIs with React and Material UI, driving a 30% increase in user satisfaction ratings from feedback surveys. I also improve recommendation logic accuracy by 20%, use Docker and Kubernetes to streamline deployments and reduce downtime by 15%, and apply Redis caching to cut server response times by 50%—all backed by thorough performance testing.
I’ve also led code reviews and mentored junior developers, supporting continuous improvement and team productivity gains of 30%. Previously at MyTomorrows (Jul 2018 – Oct 2020), I helped scale to 5,000 concurrent users, strengthened third-party integrations with REST APIs (35% data exchange efficiency), and reduced production bugs by 50% through automated testing—ultimately increasing mobile engagement by 25% and retention by 15%.
