About Zaire Paterson

Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable, user-focused web applications using React, JavaScript, Next.js, and TypeScript. Deep experience in frontend development, UI quality, and data-driven interfaces, paired with hands-on experience designing and integrating backend services, APIs, and databases to deliver complete, end-to-end solutions. Proven track record of owning features across the stack, simplifying complex workflows, and collaborating closely with product, design, and engineering teams in healthcare and government environments.In my recent role at IFF, I lead frontend development for data-driven applications used by quality-control and lab teams, building interactive dashboards with React, JavaScript, Redux, Plotly.js, and GraphQL. I also lead frontend development of a cross-platform React and React Native application that scaled from proof-of-concept to production across web, Electron, and mobile (iOS/Android), architecting reusable components and workflows with React Native Paper, React Navigation, and React Hook Form. I also contributed across the stack by building and integrating NestJS services, designing MySQL schemas with TypeORM, and supporting automation and localization workflows through Microsoft Azure, while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and mentoring junior developers.Previously in my role at Quevera, I worked on modernizing a government compliance platform from ColdFusion to React, building client-requested features in React and Next.js and owning full-stack upgrades across frontend and backend systems. I collaborated closely with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver projects from design through deployment in regulated healthcare and government environments.Before that, at Rally Health (Optum Digital), I spent several years building and supporting internal and customer-facing healthcare applications. I led frontend migrations to React using JavaScript and TypeScript, delivered critical open enrollment features, collaborated with backend engineers on shared services, and mentored junior developers. I also improved automated testing and supported CI/CD pipelines, helping increase reliability for high-traffic, compliance-driven systems.
