 Senior Software Engineer

Responsible for the Analysis, design and development of web and mobile apps for a variety of projects as well as the development on internal processes to improve development of the team. 

Current tech stack used: 
- GitFlow 
- Yarn and NPM 
- Slack 
- React 
- React Native 
- NodeJS 
- Fastlane 
- Bitrise

I've worked with Angular and Ionic but have since moved over to React and React Native as React/React Native is super powerful and I Love developing in it.

I work on Multiple projects and not just 1 system so my role includes fully planning out the entire project and full development i.e. understanding what sort of problem the client is trying to solve by having us create this App, what will be needed from a tech point of view to achieve this goal e.g. do i need to create a NodeJS backend to talk to the Mobile App they want me to build, does the system need to integrate with 3rd parties etc. I then do all the dev to create the backend (NodeJS) and Mobile App (React Native) and handle the Continuous Integration and deployment to app stores.
