WORK HISTORY

ABOUT ROWAN A.

I am a full-stack software engineer specializing in building clean, efficient, and highly maintainable code for large systems serving millions of people. My experience spans web, mobile, game, and enterprise development.My technical background covers AWS and Azure infrastructure through to React, Vue.js, and native mobile development. I apply SOLID principles and OOP to eliminate code duplication and keep package sizes small. Having worked with languages from PHP and Python to Rust and Go, core programming concepts transfer across technologies, letting me pick the right tool for each job. Using my UI/UX skills, I work backwards from user needs to determine minimal API endpoints. I design versatile RESTful APIs where single endpoints handle multiple tasks through smart parameters, testing with Postman to create cleaner, maintainable codebases that adapt easily when requirements change.My healthcare and education sector experience taught me to build inclusive software for users of all technical abilities. I\'ve modernized legacy systems while maintaining stability, understanding the balance between innovation and reliability when millions depend on these services daily.I work well in Agile teams using Jira and Monday.com, and have mentored developers and consulted on technology decisions, developing my ability to communicate technical concepts to varied audiences. Beyond coding, I\'ve implemented CI/CD pipelines, SEO optimization, and have machine learning experience. My technical director experience also means I\'m comfortable with high-level planning and strategic decisions.I\'m driven by making software that genuinely improves people\'s lives. I\'ve built applications for people with disabilities and special needs, and this work showed me the real impact good software can have. Whether it\'s simplifying someone\'s daily tasks, making their job easier, or creating games that bring joy, I want to build things that matter. My combination of full-stack technical skills and practical experience with large-scale systems is rooted in a commitment to creating meaningful solutions. I focus on delivering practical, maintainable code that truly serves user needs.
