About Wesley Hovick

As a seasoned professional with over 15 years of experience with technology, my passion for crafting quality software solutions is matched only by my commitment to operational excellence. Specializing in React with TypeScript.NET Framework.NET Core and C#, I\'ve dedicated my career to mastering the art of writing maintainable, performant, and reliable applications that positively impact the end-users.My expertise lies in creating sophisticated code designs and architectures, especially in the context of React applications, as well as C# based solutions. Over the years, I\'ve developed a deep understanding of React, TypeScript.NET ecosystems, and I have honed an eye for identifying and applying industry\'s best practices.Test-driven development (TDD) has been a fundamental approach in my software engineering practice, leveraging Jest/RTL for unit testing in React, and xUnit/Moq in C#. By adhering to the TDD methodology, I ensure the production of robust, high-quality code that stands up to both expected and unforeseen demands.To supplement my core skills, I\'ve gained practical experience with Oauth2, GraphQL, Kubernetes, Docker, Azure Cloud Services, Google Cloud Services, and AWS - all of which have proven to be invaluable assets in the software development lifecycle.In this fast-paced, ever-evolving industry, I am continually learning, adapting, and expanding my skill set, always eager to tackle new challenges and create effective, efficient software solutions.
