Throughout my career, I've honed my skills in various programming languages and frameworks, including TypeScript, JavaScript, React.js, and Vue.js. My commitment to quality is evident in my contributions to open-source projects like OpenMRS, where I enhanced the React Form Engine and reviewed over 100 pull requests to maintain high standards.
