Profile
Driving Project Success with Design, Management, and Development Expertise.
With a robust 16-year tenure in front-end development, my core expertise lies in React Native Web, underpinned by a deep understanding of TypeScript. My technical proficiency extends
to unit testing with Jest, schema creation with Zod, and leveraging Firebase and RESTful services through TanStack Query (FKA React Query). I excel in
end-to-end testing frameworks such as Appium and Detox and am a staunch advocate for solid automation practices, including seamless CI/CD pipelines with tools
like EAP (Expo Application Services), CircleCI, Bitrise, and Fastlane. My foundational experience in web design has honed my eye for UI/UX, allowing me to
create compelling user interfaces using Figma, Zeplin, Canva, and Marvel. My skill set is diverse, encompassing Node.js, Vue.js, Redux, and
advanced styling libraries like Tailwind CSS. I am also proficient in 3D JavaScript libraries, including Three.js and D3.js. My extensive background includes the
creation and management of component libraries and design systems, utilizing frameworks such as Lottie and Tamagui to ensure consistency and streamline development
processes. As an independent contractor, I am driven by a passion for delivering flawless features, fostering innovation through personal projects, and cultivating a culture of continuous learning
and improvement.
Work Experience
At Plantopia Farm, I am pioneering a tech-driven approach to urban agriculture, leveraging my extensive experience in software architecture and cross-platform application development. My mission is to empower city residents to engage in sustainable farming practices through cutting-edge technology. Key contributions include:
- Technical Visionary: Conceptualized and developed an advanced React Native Web mobile & web application that enables users to design, manage, and monitor their urban gardens effortlessly.
- Full-Stack Development: Single-handedly engineered the full stack of the platform, ensuring seamless integration between the app, cloud services, and IoT devices within the urban farm ecosystem.
- User Experience Design: Focused on creating an intuitive user interface that simplifies complex agricultural processes into user-friendly interactions for a diverse user base.
- Business Strategy: Crafted a scalable business model tailored to meet the needs of urban farmers and promote the adoption of sustainable living practices.
- Community Building: Actively working towards building a community by engaging with potential users, gathering feedback, and iterating on the product to better serve the needs of urban gardeners.
As the founder and developer of this venture, I am dedicated to fostering urban sustainability with a clear vision and precise execution. This project is built on a commitment to social and environmental progress, not profit. We prioritise community enrichment and ecological health over financial gain. Our mission is to drive sustainable urban development that benefits society and the planet, ensuring our legacy is measured by impact, not income. This is more than a business—it’s a movement for a sustainable future.
