Umar G.

I am a self-taught, full-stack developer with experience in Node.js and React, with a focus on backend development. I have led a small software team, worked directly with company management, and taken lead on sprints during development cycles. My main aim with any development team is to create clean, maintainable and scalable code that delivers real value to the company and its clients.

My goals and idea for what makes a successful career is building things that help people, things that add value and enrich lives.

I've worked my whole career (so far) at companies that really value work-life balance and adding value to their clients without compromising that, all while working remotely and asynchronously - to be honest, it's probably spoiled me a bit. But this is something that I am searching for in future firms that I work with.

I am currently looking for companies where I can take a mid-level role, gain some experience and learn from seasoned developers to build things that people love and grow into senior positions. I, of course, hope that I can give back as much (or more!) than I get in return.
