React & Next.js / Postgres(Supabase) / Vercel Hosting AWS Certified
Resume:
Thanks for considering me for your open role/project. A little about me
As a motivated React/Next.js/Supabase full stack developer, I have more than 20 years of experience building web-based applications for companies like IBM, Microsoft and ZenPlanner. Throughout my career I’ve served in a variety of roles supporting the software development life cycle process including analyst, architect, developer, QA and project manager. I've excelled both as a lone resource and as an embedded team member (40+ team members).
Along my journey of software development I've successfully architected and deployed applications that used monolith, SOA and microservices paradigms. I always believed in simple-first, even when the latest and greatest tech trends may have suggested otherwise. What does the client need right now? Let me understand their business (and industry, if I could) and develop my requirements docs while being as forward-thinking as possible.
Over the last 6 years I've jumped on the TypeScript front-end bandwagon and built a few applications in Angular and Vue.js, but quickly found a home with React / Next.js / Typescript & Supabase. My experience will benefit your project from the perspective of performance and streamlined processes; I've seen a lot of what doesn't work and can turn those pitfalls into features. Recently earned the AWS Certified Cloud Practioner certification (September 2022). Additionally I've leveraged Payload CMS to build out several internal applications as well as blog and a fully functional e-commerce application (Stripe / Clerk). I've posted several of my recent projects to Github.com (links included in my resume), and I'm certain your technical leadership will be able to quickly ascertain my value as a resource. Thanks again for considering me,
