- Collaborating with designers, product managers, and other stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
- Designing and implementing RESTful APIs for seamless communication between front-end and back-end systems.
- Optimizing application performance and scalability through efficient database design, caching mechanisms, and code optimization techniques.
- Conducting code reviews and mentoring junior developers to foster their growth and ensure code quality.
- Troubleshooting and debugging issues across the entire stack, from server infrastructure to front-end interfaces.

Achievements:

- Successfully led the development of several complex web applications from inception to deployment, meeting tight deadlines and exceeding client expectations.
- Implemented robust authentication and authorization mechanisms using JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and OAuth, ensuring secure access control to sensitive resources.
- Introduced modern front-end development practices, such as component-based architecture and state management libraries like Redux, resulting in cleaner codebases and improved maintainability.
- Integrated third-party APIs and services for additional functionality, such as payment gateways, social media authentication, and geolocation services.
- Optimized database queries and indexes to significantly improve application performance, reducing page load times and enhancing user experience.
- Implemented continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD, streamlining the development process and enabling rapid iterations.
