With some years of experience in this field, I have learned a great deal of knowledge about product development, integrating with REST and 3rd party API, user experience, and website optimization. Recently, I collaborated with UI and performance marketing team and have helped one of my clients to increase their sales by 20% by revamping and refactoring the entire checkout flow in their e-commerce website.
