Felipe C.

Vetted tech lead in Colombia (UTC-5)

Senior Software Developer with experience in JavaScript, SQL, and Python, each 10 years of experience. 20 years of experience in total. The company with whom I grew the most professionally is ADA SA, a small software shop from Medellín. Our client was the IDEAM, an equivalent to the weather and meteorology office in Colombia, and I had the immense pleasure to write all kinds of weather related applications, including predictive models. As I started as a senior developer, I went all the way to become the tech lead for this particular client, and of course I learned a lot during the four years with them (2007-2011), sometimes the hard way. Since I started my career in the early 2000s, I've almost always been the guy who writes the code, and when not, the one who receives the responsibility to either keep things working, or the team working. So I'm pretty sure all of the projects mentioned in my CV benefited hugely from my contributions, even those in which I didn't last or those that didn't meet success. Among my most successful ones, I'll just mention: * the three hugely successful projects I had with Indra, a giant Spanish company. In particular, the DANE project was a major milestone in my career: it was a software solution for the equivalent of the office of statistics and measurements, and allowed the company to win many other projects in Colombia. * [recreation.gov](http://recreation.gov/) gave me the opportunity to visit Buenos Aires and I wrote a huge range of map (GIS) related functionalities. An amazing project with an amazing variety of developers in many different areas. * the [dealertrack.com](http://dealertrack.com/) is an awesome project, and I became a developer for one of its main teams as they were writing the next version of their platform on the cloud. When talking about my strengths, I believe my coworkers would mention: * resilience, because I'm never discouraged by any outcome, but I keep working on improving things until all expectations are surpassed. * trust, because I gain the confidence of my teammates by obtaining results for the team, and by writing a code that inspires confidence, no tricks at all. * respect, because I know my limits and I always keep things professional, no matter what. My colleagues know how much I appreciate them, and that I'll never erupt over them nor even have the need to do so. * competence and value creation: nobody doubts I know what I'm talking about, and when not, they know I'll just ask.

Vetted tech lead in Colombia (UTC-5)

I am talented frontend software designer, recognized for finding innovative and creative solutions when it comes to architectural concerns on the client side, understanding the business definition and good design practices. As a tech lead, I have led multiple teams not only guiding them in terms of code quality alongside SOLID principles and design patterns but encouraging them to build highly testable, maintainable and scalable products over time by an appropriate system design, architecture definition and team defined product foundations and conventions. As a personal expectation, I’m always motivated by new challenges, I’m always open to learn new ways, strategies and even technologies that might be a good fit for a specific solution. Teaching others is one of my best skills and the opportunity to contribute to the personal and professional growth of team members is something I’d really value and be happy to work with. About my tech stack experience. I’ve been working for almost 6 years with both Angular and React with large to medium size projects. Stenciljs for small and web component based projects and Nestjs for small backend solutions also known as BFFs.

**A little about me** Software enthusiast, who likes working and learning with a great and autonomus team. I had worked in several business lines projects like fintech, retail, SaaS, PaaS, custom specific solutions among others. Also I had the chance to worked in freelance projects, and all this experience tought me that no matters how strong are your tech skills, is impossible to launch a successful solution without minimum soft skills like active listening, really good communication with stakeholders, problem solving and teamwork. **What I like** I love facing challenges from business and tech perspective, design and develop solutions for complex problems such as; algorithm to order products in linears based on their type and size (like when you go to a real supermarket), handle vehicles reservations with custom business rules and without break the continuous timeline, migrate entire service from *Flask* to *Django* and get better non functional requirements approach... Because facing this kind of situations improve your logic, the way you solve problems, lets you share and discuss your solution with the team and get useful feedback, read documentation and get first touch with unkown technologies or cloud services exploring the best for the problem and context. All my problem solving mindset is language agnostic but I consider *Python* felxibility allows to create, test, refactor and iterate solutions in a really fast way, its community, third party libraries, the core itself is HUGE so this are main reasons to take Python as my main tech stack. Despite I hasn't a lot of experience in Software Architecture I enjoy to be able to be part of design process, understand in a deeper way how architecture patterns (three-layer, MVC, microservices) impact a system and what kind of tradeoffs have to be handle when choosing any of them. When I had the chance to be part of this process I learn a lot and was one of my biggest challenges in my career, because at that moment I wasn't a senior developer and the "dev team" was build up from the tech lead and myself so talking ,discussing, designing, testing and iterating with teach lead about DB design for all of the microservices, how orchestate and deploy them with serverless framework, find AWS services that fits SaaS needs like Coginito, Lambda, Elasticsearch, S3, IMA, API gateway among others, read docs for each new technology or service, and be align with other teams like devops, frontend and product made me a better engineer from different perespectives. I love to use *neovim* as my IDE, reading tech articles, sharing interesting posts about new technologies (*FastAPI* framework for example), explore tools and scripts that make me feels more productive and lastly I'm becaming a *Golang* enthusiast (I hope to get an opportunity to work with this amazing language) so solve little challenges in Go are one of my fav hobbies rigth now **What I dislike** - Working in an unrespectful team - Feels working alone without any team support - No facing new and great challenges - Have not good work-life balance **Challenges** - I mentioned before but be part of a project from ground is one of the most satisfying challenges I had faced. From take meetings with Product, UI/UX, Frontend teams to get a better understanding of their needs and convert them into technical requirements, to designing, exploring, searching, testing and development of each one of the custom CMS microservices, using best practices, set minimum unit test coverage in CI pipelines, implementing custom middlewares to support multi-tenant design, using async and batch processes when required, avoiding race condition issues when accessing data all this made the greatest challenge. - Understanding a complex platform developed to be a PaaS focused on mobility, this platform has several business rules with high coupling components, so I had to reading and asking many times different components of the code in order to avoid errors when introducing changes to the base code that could broke production environment. One of the most interesting things that I developed here was the first MVP module for shared fleets, a great concept with shared reservations for same vehicles but adding ocation complexity, and outsourcing support. - The first freelance project was a learning process with many mistakes but at the end an interesting experience where I was able to deliver a tech solution for a specific problem. The challenges here were from communication with the client side, estimation of the deliveries and defining deadlines and boundaries for the project. I worked on the backend side for the project using Django to build a custom platform that handles different actions for horizontal property boards, like multiple choise questions, open questions, True/False questions, surveys, reports, documents sharing, voting management system and more. This platform was deployed on Heroku services and allowed this small company to keep alive their business during pandemy
