I have created front end applications with react, Next, gatsby,vue and nuxt and for styling, I useTailwind and Bootstrap. I have experience with various state management Vuex, redux, redux-thunks, select, sagas and GraphQL. For creating websites with content management systems I use WordPress (PHP) and Prismic.

React Developer
@CodeCareer.io
June 2020 — April 2021
Startup that assists junior developers finding jobs via a job board.
I worked as part of a frontend development team using React.js, JavaScript and CSS, TailwindCSS and Bootstrap4. We used the agile methodology and jira Kaban board to assign features.
Daily, I used React.js, Javascript ECMA 5-11, CSS, Tailwind CSS for styling and occasionally Bootstrap 4. I interacted withexpress.js routes, stored data in a MongoDB and used the mongoose ORM. The popular node packages we used was form-hooks and Axios.
My responsibilities involved maintaining the hiring system, implementing new features and updating job posts. I implemented front-end CRUD functionality for posting jobs to the job board, built a custom hook for API requests and improved the SEO score. Successfully reduced API requests with local storage and implemented infinite scrolling. I refactored large parts of the codebase, improved responsiveness by reducing calling repaint and the time taken for the browser to render.
Later I used python to run an automated process every 30 minutes, to fetch data from various API's, parse the data and then clean the fields so they matched our UI. Then save them to the MongoDB backend.
