Remote worker with 22+ years of experience - Last seen 1 year ago

I am a senior Front-End / React Developer with experience of over 20 years and a focus on complex website/application development with first-rate and advanced knowledge of HTML, JavaScript (all iterations), CSS, React, TypeScript and the modern front-end ecosystem and techniques in general.

I fell in love with component-based development in the 90s and started from early on to develop my own OOP component-based frameworks. After a successful career as a Flash / ActionScript (ECMA script) developer, I went back to my first love, front-end development.

I naturally transitioned to React as I was already very familiar with the core concepts of component-based development (event-based communication, state, modularity, scalability) and the challenges that naturally occur in that development paradigm. I have specialized in React and its ecosystem for the past 6 years.

Having worked in the gambling and gaming industry as a lead UI / UX developer on XBOX games (Integration of UI elements in gaming engines), I have successfully transferred those skills to my Front-End / React specialty and I am very confident working in tandem with UI and UX teams.

I have a constant eagerness to learn and stay in touch with the latest trends and developments in front-end technologies and an excellent capacity to technically lead, teach, train, advise and supervise.
