I’ve been a Software Engineer for 7 years. User experience, page performance, programming for long-term maintainability, accessibility, responsive api-driven design, TDD are all important to me as I develop projects via the Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC). I offer a unique blend of technical and design expertise that can be invaluable to the team. Here's a breakdown of how I envision my contributions:

* Technical Expertise: My proficiency in modern web technologies like TypeScript, JavaScript, React, Redux, GraphQL, and Apollo means I can contribute significantly to the technical architecture, ensuring our application remains cutting-edge.

* Performance Enhancements: In my time at Vivun, Zapier and Philosophie, I focused on reducing tech debt—ie focus on our app architecture, component design, decoupling, separating data from rendering, reducing unnecessary re-renders etc. and optimizing performance. I can bring this expertise to our team, ensuring our application is swift and efficient.

* Style Guide Creation: Having worked extensively on ensuring UI consistency in my previous roles, I can greatly benefit your team by contributing to the creation of a comprehensive style guide. This will guarantee a consistent and polished look across the application.

* Practical UX Expertise: My hands-on experience with various projects has given me a deep understanding of user-centric design. I can leverage this knowledge to make our application intuitive and user-friendly.

* Collaboration: I've always believed in a collaborative approach to development. My history of working with diverse teams means I can seamlessly integrate with our backend engineers, designers, and other stakeholders.

* Mentorship: In my previous roles, I've taken on the responsibility of mentoring and onboarding new engineers, ensuring a smooth workflow.

* API-First Approach: My work has often revolved around an API-driven design process. I can ensure that our frontend integrates seamlessly with backend services, making our application robust and scalable.

* Documentation: I've always emphasized the importance of thorough documentation and transparency. This not only aids in clarity but also ensures effective communication within the team.

* Adaptability: My diverse skill set is a testament to my adaptability and continuous learning ethos. I'm confident in my ability to quickly adapt to new technologies and frameworks as needed.
