Personal details
Daryl N.
Summary
I am a Software Engineer with over 5 years of professional development experience. I have experience in back end, front end and full stack development using languages such as PHP, Python, Typescript, Javascript and Java using both vanilla and framework implementations. I am versed in a variety of tools used for software testing and DevOps best practices such as Git version control, Docker, Jira and Postman. I’ve also leveraged database technologies such as Firebase, MySQL, MongoDB and Snowflake which served as the primary storage for applications which I've developed and maintained. I am eager to face new challenges, collaborate and learn for personal and professional growth.
