Senior Full Stack Javascript Architect through Publicis.Sapient

Feb 2016Feb 2019 · 3 yrs · London Area, United Kingdom

  • In my role, I primarily focused on designing the frontend architecture using React/Redux in London and Scotland. I successfully created and developed more than 10 React projects from scratch to production, including setting up the DevOps pipeline and implementing quality checks. In my most recent project, I wrote APIs in Python based on the established contracts in the NodeJS codebase.
  • As part of my team, I developed a React Native project that integrated several React web apps. Additionally, the web app utilized various React Native hooks to achieve native functionalities on mobile and tablet devices, such as signature and printing capabilities.
  • I had the opportunity to work on a NodeJS application where the goal was to migrate APIs from a legacy system to Loopback framework.
  • I also enjoyed exploring AWS in one of my personal learning projects. I utilized AWS Elastic and AWS EC2 to set up a Jenkins Pipeline and deploy a React application.
