Details on my Skillset

I am a software developer, with a knack for making great software.

Full stack web development is my forte'; I create quality web applications for my clients. I'm used to creating systems with restful APIs and microservices, using nodejs as a backend. I use ReactJS or any modern frontend javascript framework for front end ensuring responsive and modern looking design. I am very knowledgable on application design, agile development, and test my applications using automated unit testing. I know my way around dev operations and host my client's apps on Ubuntu servers, using apache or nginx as a webserver. I host applications and maintain them through cloud services like Digital Ocean or AWS.

I am a team player, a self starter, and I learn quickly. I take ownership of the software I build. With existing systems, I love to learn about how a software works and am always looking for ways to improve it. I am very much open to mentoring my peers, as I really enjoy sharing what I know.

I'm used to working with Git as source control, and communicating over Slack for collaboration. I'm transparent with my work by keeping detailed track of my hours using excel spreadsheets and sharing detailed invoices when working freelance.
