Skills

  • React Typescript / Angular JS
Single Page Applications

Throughout my career as a FrontEnd Software Engineer, I've harnessed the robust capabilities of React.js and Angular.js to deliver powerful web applications. I've utilized React.js, celebrated for its virtual DOM and component-based architecture, to construct intricate tools such as an image management dashboard and a micro frontend. This included the creation of usage and cost charts with D3, a library known for its flexibility in creating dynamic and interactive data visualizations. On the other hand, AngularJS, appreciated for its two-way data binding and dependency injection, was essential for managing MVC structures before their seamless migration to ReactJS. My experiences also encompass deep knowledge of API integration for functionalities such as authentication and Stripe payments. Plus, I've used common React design patterns to ensure efficient, maintainable code. All these experiences have refined my ability to deliver diverse, user-centric digital solutions.

  • Redux / React Hooks / JS Data
Application State Management

Expert state management has been key to my success in frontend development. I've leveraged React and Redux, powerful tools for maintaining a consistent application state, to develop a cloud integrations dashboard that successfully attracted venture capital funding. Redux's predictability and debuggable nature made it a cornerstone for managing complex state transitions. Moreover, during my work on an image management dashboard, meticulous state management ensured fluid user interactions and robust application performance.

  • Segment / Google Analytics 4
Product Led Growth and Instrumentation

As an engineer with a strong focus on growth, I've used a product-led approach to drive success and ensure customer satisfaction. I've developed features such as aspect-ratio locking and feature gating based on browser detection to enhance user experience. On the instrumentation side, I've implemented tracking events across key user journey steps using Segment and BigQuery, instrumental tools for data collection and analysis. This data-driven strategy has not only improved our products but also provided invaluable insights into user behavior, enabling us to deliver customer-centric experiences effectively.

  • Tailwind & CSS Libraries
Style Libraries

As a proficient FrontEnd Software Engineer, I bring a wealth of experience in utilizing modern styling libraries like Tailwind CSS, Tailwind UI, PostCSS, and Sass. With a knack for creating efficient mixins and a disciplined approach to writing well-structured classes and variables, I ensure robust and maintainable style sheets. Despite my extensive knowledge, I maintain an open-minded approach towards the choice of styling libraries. My focus remains steadfast on what truly matters: delivering user experiences that are not only intuitive but also elegant in design.
