I have my own curriculum of React practice tasks with their own unique challenges. That approach is paired with breaking down each task into smaller chunks and doing a code review for each, which is the main method for learning and knowledge sharing throughout the course. The average course length is 3-6 months.

- I've been working on ATS projects and tools for the recruitment industry, both on newly starting and already established codebases with JavaScript/Typescript/Node, paired with a machine learning module for improving hiring diversity and fairness.

- As part of a small, cross functional team I participate in all stages of software creation: product brainstorming, feature specification, front end + backend development, CI/CD and general DevOps.

- Improved our full stack JavaScript legacy codebase with the help of various refactoring techniques which led to faster development of new features.

- Audited and then improved the accessibility and UX of our frontend systems making them more usable for all users. Used different auditing tools and screen readers.

- Some of the tech I used include React, Redux, Ant Design, Typescript, Node, Nest, Mongo, Feathers, CI/CD, CircleCI, AWS, Monorepos, Docker, Terraform, Functional programming with fp-ts.

- I've been a part of many cross functional teams in various industries like IoT, FinTech, Sports clubs, where I collaborated with QA testers, UI/UX designers, product owners and other developers in an Agile environment.

- Regularly used React, Redux, Typescript, MaterialUI, web sockets and similar tech from the ecosystem. All applications were quite dynamic, state-heavy and responsive.

- Was the FE tech leader for some projects and a collaborator in others working alongside other FE and BE developers.

- On the side I've done numerous technical interviews of candidates and project estimations and evaluations.
