About
I have almost two decades of experience as a web product engineer, much of it building highly-scalable and fault-tolerant cloud-native applications, primarily on AWS and Google Cloud Platform. I have extensive experience with Python web frameworks (including Django, Flask, and Pyramid) and modern JavaScript frameworks (primarily Angular and VueJS).
I have extensive experience designing, building and integrating JSON-based REST APIs.
I have considerable experience designing web interfaces via wire-frames and prototypes, primarily using Balsamiq Mockups (portfolio samples available upon request), and I have hands-on experience developing the front-end interfaces and back-end (RESTful) APIs to fully implement an application based on the wire-frame and prototype specs.
I have excellent communication and teamwork skills and have also mentored many junior- and senior-level developers on best practices for architectural patterns, security concerns, and user experience matters.
I currently hold AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Developer Associate, and SysOps Administrator certifications, all obtained in March 2017.
