Summary

I'm a Senior Full-Stack Web Engineer with extensive hands-on experience implementing projects of all sizes, ranging from small one-off prototypes to large-scale online intranets, data processing platforms and content management systems. My services cover R&D, prototyping, database design, back and front-end development and mobile development (both responsive HTML5 and native Android) - all with a strong focus on scalability, performance, and added value for the final user.

As a software engineer with a Master's degree by a Swiss university, I have a strong focus on quality at all levels, which results in: curated user experiences, robust code architectures for maintainability and re-usability, (almost) bug-free production applications thanks to automated tests, and user experiences tailored to the exact client and user needs.

Thanks to years of experience in a wide range of topics involving all the phases of the software development life cycle, I can also become your consultant and help you choose your technical stack, refine your user stories, and implement the right project management methodology for your case. I can lead and implement your project myself, or become part of your engineering team.

Having worked in multi-cultural, remote environments for over five years, and for clients from all around the globe, I understand the importance of good, frequent and effective communication for the success of every project.

I'm looking forward to working with you on a new challenge!

Moneythink provides a suite of mobile and web applications to guide youth students through the whole college application process: comparing colleges, applying for awards and creating financial plans that analyze the college affordability for the student. As a full-stack engineer and in collaboration with Adam Parrot via the CauseLabs web agency, I helped lead the refactoring and revamping of a mobile web based application, built primarily with React, Material UI, ES6, CSS3 (LESS), HTML5 and Cypress on the front-end, and Rails, RSpec and PostgreSQL on a dockerized deployment on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. I was involved in this project for over 8 months part-time, and assisted the decision making team with engineering advice and helped with related maintenance tasks, debugging and pixel-perfect attention to detail.
