About

Front-end heavy full-stack engineer with over a decade of experience; strong working knowledge of modern web stack (JS - ES7+, TS, React/NextJS, CSS3) and tooling such as WebPack, Babel etc.
I am currently focusing on cloud native architectures to deliver optimal performance and UX on large scale apps across the glob.

My go to Stack is React/Next.js with Tailwind and Prisma.
I did work for companies across the globe developing scalable public facing website, and various data visualisation systems.

I have a strong preference for working on dashboards and data visualization with technologies such as d3.js or Mapbox.

I also help students and junior get a better understanding of technology and level up their web coding skills: https://www.codementor.io/@simonbuisson
