Work Experience

As a freelance developer, I partner with varied international clients to deliver custom web solutions. I have worked on several projects ranging from bespoke Content Management Systems (CMS) and CRM tools to SaaS platforms that streamline business operations. I work collaboratively within a team throughout the development lifecycle, contributing to system design, implementation, testing, and deployment.

I leverage a versatile tech stack, incorporating Vue.js for dynamic interfaces alongside my expertise in React and Next.js. My backend work involves building robust APIs with Node.js and Express, ensuring secure and efficient data handling with MongoDB for diverse applications ranging from e-commerce platforms to internal tools.

In my senior role, I took on leadership responsibilities including leading a team of developers, conducting regular code reviews to ensure best practices, and mentoring junior and mid-level developers through pair programming, knowledge sharing sessions, and technical guidance. I was responsible for designing and architecting scalable fullstack solutions that could handle growing business requirements.

I spearheaded the migration of the codebase into a monorepo using Turborepo, which significantly improved scalability, maintainability, and development workflows through incremental builds, remote caching, and parallel execution. I introduced a shared module architecture that reduced codebase complexity by 30%, ensuring code consistency across API, admin, web, and mobile platforms. I also developed the mobile version of the application using React Native.

To improve developer experience, I implemented Husky with automated pre-commit hooks and commit linting to enforce code quality standards. On the security front, I implemented 2FA authentication, HMAC-based API security, and architected a unified observability strategy for logging and monitoring.

I also optimized infrastructure costs by reducing API calls and serverless invocations through strategic caching with Redis and RTK Query, and request decoupling. System performance was further improved through pagination, query optimization, and request rate limiting to ensure stability.

During my short-term gig as a Software Engineer at a Betting Site Company, I was involved in developing their web platform and supporting systems.

On the front-end, I contributed to the implementation of Vite and React, ensuring a smooth and high-performance user experience. I worked with Chakra UI to enhance the interface and improve accessibility. For state management and efficient data fetching, I was involved in integrating Zustand and React Query to optimize performance.

On the back-end, I participated in the development of their NestJS infrastructure, helping design scalable APIs and database interactions using MySQL. I was also involved in enhancing their CRM system, improving data handling and operational efficiency

Additionally, I contributed to deployment and infrastructure management using AWS and Docker, ensuring the application's reliability and scalability. MySQL optimization was also part of the process, utilizing MySQL Workbench to streamline database performance.

During my time working at TheDailyUniverse, I made significant contributions to enhance the web application's functionality. My primary focus was on refining the map feature found on the homepage, where I painstakingly designed an interactive and visually captivating mapping solution. Beyond this, I took charge of various other front-end features, ensuring not only their aesthetic appeal but also their seamless functionality.

One of the standout achievements during my tenure was the independent implementation of an entire external API using Express.js, seamlessly integrating it with our application to expand its capabilities. Moreover, I led the implementation of a robust CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) pipeline for deploying the application to a GoDaddy server. This automation of deployment processes ensured that our users consistently received the latest updates and features, significantly improving our development workflow and overall project success.

At iBoardLiving, a startup company similar to Airbnb’s online marketplace, I worked as a fullstack developer, where I gained extensive experience in developing web applications. My journey started with PHP, specifically CodeIgniter, where I developed various web applications. After some time, we decided to migrate to React, using TypeScript, Next.js, and Tailwind, Mantine for our frontend stack.

As a fullstack developer, I was responsible for developing both frontend and backend applications, from client to admin system, working with various software tools and technologies. I collaborated closely with two senior developer and gained a deep understanding of the development lifecycle, from requirement gathering to deployment, and was able to provide efficient solutions to various technical challenges.

In addition to my frontend development expertise, I also integrated various APIs such as Twala, Bux, Dragonpay, Mapbox, Docusign, and Pusher to provide additional functionality and enhance the user experience. By integrating these APIs, I was able to incorporate real-time location tracking, push notifications, and messaging features into our web applications.

I started my career as a freelance web and mobile developer while working full-time as an IT Specialist. I worked on a variety of projects that involve designing, developing, and optimizing applications for both platforms. I specialize in creating intuitive user interfaces, building scalable architectures, and integrating efficient backend solutions to enhance performance and usability.

On the web development side, I utilize modern frameworks and technologies to build responsive, high-performance applications tailored to client needs. For mobile development, I focus on cross-platform compatibility, ensuring seamless functionality across devices.

Throughout my freelance work, I collaborate with clients to bring their ideas to life, adapting to different industries and project requirements. My experience allows me to tackle challenges in UI/UX design, backend development, database management, and cloud deployment to deliver high-quality solutions.

At FPOSI, a BPO company, I worked as an IT specialist, where I gained extensive experience in providing Level 2 support, managing IT operations, and developing desktop tools to automate tasks. In this role, I was responsible for supporting the day-to-day IT needs of the company, including troubleshooting hardware and software issues, managing user accounts, and maintaining IT infrastructure.

I developed expertise in using .BAT scripts to automate routine tasks, increasing efficiency and reducing human error. Additionally, I learned to develop desktop IT tools that helped automate my work, using .NET to create efficient and customized solutions for various IT-related tasks.

Through this experience, I developed a strong understanding of IT infrastructure and operations, including network security, hardware troubleshooting, and system administration. I also gained expertise in various software tools and technologies, including Microsoft Office, Active Directory, and Virtualization software.
