My Skills

Front-end Development

I believe an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing user interface is key when it comes to user experience. To provide a snappy, rich experience, I prefer to rely on Angular and TypeScript, coupled with front-end frameworks such as Ionic or Bootstrap.

Back-end Development

What's a front-end if it's not backed by effective APIs? For a seamless and effective experience, I implement back-end services using the Javascript ecosystem (NodeJS and NestJS), or the .NET Framework (C#, MVC, Entity Framework).

Databases

When it comes to managing data, integrity and speed are paramount. I have experience in both RDBMS (Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Postgres), as well as NoSQL (MongoDB).

Cloud Architecture

An application needs to be scalable and cost-effective. That's why I utilize AWS to produce a cloud-native application. From the front-end, to the back-end, to data management, I believe a serverless architecture provides extensive reliability and efficiency.

CI/CD Automation

When it comes to deployment, I believe in being swift and safe. I utilize tools such as Bamboo to automate deployment and integration processes.

Cross-Platform Mobile

Ionic Framework has proven to be an extremely effective tool when I'm looking to build applications that function on both desktop and mobile platforms alike.
