Full-Stack Software Engineer @ Meta
Software isn't just a career path for me. Ever since I was younger, curiosity has led me to become a lifetime learner outside the classroom. Whether it was looking into the developer console on browsers or watching documentaries about software development, I knew what profession I wanted for the rest of my life. As of today, I have a strong concentration within web development with skillsets that were gained through my previous internships, freelance gigs, and my current full-time employment. I seek to expand my creativity and problem-solving abilities into other companies by spending time working on their freelance gigs. My main goal is to provide the highest quality work possible while also in the least amount of time. Lastly, I want to ensure my work is generating revenue and is leaving a positive impact for many years to come! Do not hesitate to contact me so you can learn more about my experience. I look forward to hearing more about your needs just as well! Bonus: My communication skills are also very professional and quick! I will make sure that your requirements are matched completely otherwise there will be no compensation provided to me. Aside from that, I am very flexible when it comes to working with different programming languages, frameworks, and tools. I can provide many examples of client projects aside from what is already on my profile! Every client I have worked with has been satisfied with my work. Frontend: React.JS, React Native, Svelte, Vue.JS, Bootstrap, Next.JS, Gatsby, JQuery Backend: Node.JS, Spring Boot, Flask, Django, NestJS Cloud Hosting Services: AWS - EC2, S3, Lambda, Heroku, Netlify, Azure Testing Frameworks/Tools: Cypress, Jest, Selenium, Postman, Jenkins, Sonarcube
