Well-versed in the Angular Framework with UI knowledge regarding multiple frameworks over the last 2 decades.The different hats I wear during the day would range from:* Being able to lead an agile project by helping junior developers* Supporting the scrum master, defining requirements, and researching technical problems* Blending big picture UX from the designer to a more atomic UI designA firm believer in unit testing code and automated testing for use case workflows. I strive to refactor and produce maintainable code that is clear to understand with comments(!). Always interested in new technologies that correlate with my technology stack
