What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

With over 13 years of extensive experience in web development, I have honed my skills in designing, developing, and deploying web applications. My expertise lies in the MERN stack, including MongoDB, Express JS, React JS, and Node JS, allowing me to create dynamic and responsive single-page applications. I am highly proficient in utilizing React JS with Redux and TypeScript, ensuring the development of reusable components and seamless user experiences.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that optimized web performance, collaborated across teams to enhance site functionality, and automated testing processes to ensure high-quality deliverables. My strong background in front-end technologies, combined with my experience in back-end development and cloud services, positions me as a valuable asset for any organization looking to improve their digital presence and user engagement.
