With over 12 years of experience in FullStack development, I've established myself as a Solutions Architect and Technical Leader specializing in building enterprise-grade applications. Currently, as the founder of Magen, I help small businesses implement sophisticated technical solutions that rival enterprise systems, focusing on cloud-native architectures and AI/ML integration.

My core strength lies in JavaScript ecosystems, particularly React and Node.js. I've architected and deployed numerous large-scale applications using AWS services, implementing sophisticated microservices architectures with event-driven systems. My experience includes:

• Frontend Development: Expert in React, Redux, and modern state management patterns. Built complex SPAs serving millions of users at Little Caesars and Lowe's.
• Backend Architecture: Extensive experience with Node.js microservices, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and event streams.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Deep expertise in AWS services, serverless architecture, and cloud migration strategies.
• AI/ML Integration: Implementation of machine learning solutions for business process automation and data analysis.

• At Slalom_Build, led architectural decisions for enterprise-level projects and established best practices for microservices architecture.
• Rebuilt Little Caesars' online ordering platform, improving performance and maintainability while serving millions of customers.
• Developed Passport Inc's V2 Permit application, implementing a sophisticated event-based system with ElasticSearch integration.
• Created a static site generator for Walmart that managed thousands of location-specific pages for their online grocery service.
• Built interactive museum exhibits integrating hardware and software solutions at Studio Displays Inc.

I combine technical expertise with business acumen, consistently delivering solutions that balance innovation with practical business needs. My approach includes:

• Architectural Excellence: Design scalable, maintainable systems using modern best practices
• Technical Leadership: Mentor development teams and establish coding standards
• Business Focus: Transform complex business requirements into elegant technical solutions

This extensive experience makes me particularly effective at leading complex technical projects, mentoring development teams, and delivering scalable solutions that drive business value.
