ABOUT ME

Experienced Full-stack developer | Fast problem solving | Mentorship

Mission-driven full-stack developer with expertise in Javascript and Ruby offering over 5 years of experience in the full software development lifecycle building life-changing products mostly in startups.

I am a backend-leaning full-stack software developer with over 5 years of cumulative experience working in tech.

I currently fancy working with Javascript & Ruby technologies and I've worked on almost every area of the stack.

Most notably, I have:

Implemented simple and clear deployment pipelines using tools like Travis CI, Circle CI to platforms such as AWS and Heroku.
Worked extensively on APIs used by thousands of users for both internal consumption, and external integrations.
Used Terraform to automate deploy to AWS
also built frontends using React, Gatsby and Vanilla Javascript manually manipulating the DOM APIs.

In addition to the above, I've also been a team lead on previous teams – responsible for pair programming, code reviews, and mentorship.
