As a seasoned software engineer with over 12 years of experience in the web and IT industry, I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality software solutions on time and within budget. My expertise in JavaScript technologies, including Node.js, Angular, React, and Backbone, allows me to create robust and scalable applications that meet the most demanding requirements. As a leader in my field, I take pride in my ability to help teams achieve their goals and drive projects to successful completion. I'm deeply involved in creating the vision and outcomes for the work we do, using my technical expertise to ensure that every project is executed with precision and efficiency. With a diverse range of skills that includes everything from requirement gathering and research to programming and client interaction, I'm able to act as the "glue" that holds teams together and ensures that everyone is working towards the same goal. My experience extends to a wide variety of technologies, including website development (PHP, CakePHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax, JSON, XML), CMS platforms (Ghost, WordPress, Magento), payment gateways (PayPal, EBS, Stripe, BrainTree), SMS gateway integration (Clickatell, Twilio), and database management (MongoDB, Postgres, MySQL). In addition to my technical skills, I have a strong background in SEO and accessibility. Throughout my career, I've demonstrated a commitment to continuous learning and professional development, using tools like Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab, Slack, and Trello to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in software engineering. In addition to my professional experience, I have also had the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills through volunteering and training. I have conducted Github training sessions to help individuals and teams get the most out of this powerful collaboration tool. I have also provided CakePHP training to groups of up to eight people, sharing my expertise in this popular PHP framework to help others build their skills and confidence. As a Node.js and Angular expert, I have also served as a trainer in these technologies, helping developers learn the ins and outs of these powerful tools and develop their own expertise. Through these volunteer and training experiences, I have not only been able to give back to my community but have also gained valuable insights and perspectives that have helped me become a better software engineer.
