Experience in the full software development lifecycle – from concept through delivery of next-generation web and iOs applications with customizable solutions using React and React Native packages. With a passion for research, design, and implementation of scalable applications, I appreciate the experimental process of writing maintainable and extensible code in a team environment through multiple iterations. My philosophy is to keep the team curious and engaged in order to meet deadlines, exceed the minimum viable product requirements, and ship products to market as quickly as possible utilizing agile and scrum methodology.
