• JavaScript: Professional experience using JS, specifically for frontend work in React.js, TypeScript and Next.js

• TypeScript: Used in CareGuide in conjunction with React and Next.js for strong type-checking that led to cleaner and clearer code

• Next.js: Framework built on top of React that simplifies frontend app development. It does things like a better routing system, pre-configured compilation, and more control over Server Side Rendering (SSR)

• Kubernetes: Hands-on experience working with Kubernetes while at CareGuide

• Cloud Computing: Professional experience using Amazon Web Services (AWS), touching many aspects of the deployed products such as DB (RDS), simple file hosting (S3), running servers (EC2 and EKS), memory caching (ElastiCache)

• Agile methodology: Used Scrum at Nulogy and Collage, with weekly planning and backlog grooming meetings and 2-week sprints. At CareGuide we followed Kanban. The Product team constantly ordered the backlog by priority, so you always worked on the next ticket that was assigned to you or assigned to no one, whichever came first
