Vetted software developer in South Africa (UTC+2)
I have over 6 years of experience working with JavaScript, including modern ES6+ syntax such as arrow functions, promises, async/await, closures, and event delegation. For front-end development, I have expertise in React.js (React Router, Redux, Context API), Vue, jQuery, and TailwindCSS for styling. On the backend, I have utilized Node.js and Express.js to build features like authentication and authorization. I also have a strong grasp of TypeScript. I focus on improving JavaScript applications with static types, setting up configurations, debugging type errors, and designing interfaces for enhanced type safety. For distributed systems, I have implemented microservices architectures with inter-service communication via HTTP/REST and employed load-balancing techniques. My cloud experience primarily involves AWS services, including EC2 and Lambda, and basic CI/CD setups using GitHub Actions. Additionally, I have used Docker for containerizing React and Node.js applications, Redis for caching to reduce API load times, and GraphQL for efficient data fetching In testing, I am skilled in writing unit tests and performing integration tests.

For Arc’s permanent (full-time) software developers, the process begins with a manual profile review and a quick chat or video self-introduction to assess their communication skills and eligibility to be featured to companies. Next, we let them choose either a coding challenge or a technical interview, both of which take about an hour to complete. If they make it past that, we’ll onboard them as a verified software developer, and they become eligible to get featured to companies who want to hire software engineers on Arc.
For freelance software developers, we first conduct a manual profile review, scouring their online profiles to make sure they have a solid technical background, work experience, and other elements. We then ask them to send a video self-introduction to assess their English, communication skills, and other soft skills important to effectively working remotely. Next, we hold either a technical interview or peer programming session to assess their hard skills, followed by a final candidate review. If everything goes well, we’ll have an onboarding call to welcome them onto the Arc platform.
