About

Javascript/Typescript

Started my career in software with javascript because I have a keen interest in understanding via visual information. For someone new, code has a different meaning when you can rapidly give it a soul in the browser while Typescript adds discipline to it. I've worked with it for the past 3 years. I've used it in the frontend with React and Redux, in the backend for APIs with Node, Express, and also testing automation using Mocha and Jest.

Python

Mostly used with Django to build backend servers and API's it helps with fast prototyping. Very reliable, that why we depend on it at What's Cookin'. It pairs beautifully with Docker and deploys easily on the AWS cloud.

Flutter/Dart

Although very new to the world of hybrid mobile apps flutter might well be my favorite library; It's helping us at What's Cookin' develop a great cross-platform application. Flutter contains a very well build library of components (AKA Widgets). It has guides and great documentation to build awesome IOS/Android apps. One of my latest accomplishments was building the Google OAuth social login integration at What's Cookin'. (I hope one day, state management will be standardized to some level by the flutter team though!)

Data

Throughout my experience, I learned to use all sorts of resilient data management solutions starting with MongoDB to MySQL to PostgreSQL and back to NoSQL with DynamoDB. I also worked with data stores for web and mobile like local storage and cookies. For performance and high-efficiency purposes, I also learned the basics of how to add Redis caching and CDN's to an app.

🧰 Additional Skills

To be more effective as a software engineer I learned how to use Figma for prototyping and wireframing, using Google Analytics, how to deploy serverless applications with firebase. AWS services such as CodeCommit, Elastic Beanstalk, Lambda, RDS, S3, IAM, and API Gateway.
