Kalkidan Derso

I am an experienced Fullstack Developer with over four years of expertise, specializing in building scalable, high-performance applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. I have a deep understanding of backend microservices architecture, having successfully implemented solutions using Node.js, Docker, and AWS for several clients. My proficiency extends to frontend development, particularly in Single Page Applications (SPAs) using React and Next.js.

I have worked across various industries and geographies, delivering fullstack solutions that balance performance, security, and scalability. In my freelance work, I’ve developed robust automation tools and streamlined data-intensive backend processes. At Blueclerk, I built and maintained critical backend services for an asset management platform, deploying applications on AWS using Docker, and setting up CI/CD pipelines to automate deployments.

My role as a Fullstack Developer at eTech S.C. involved creating real-time communication systems with Apache Kafka and Socket.io, optimizing performance with Redis, and managing PostgreSQL databases. Additionally, I have hands-on experience with MongoDB, MySQL, SQLite, and various cloud infrastructure platforms like AWS and DigitalOcean.

Beyond coding, I thrive in collaborative environments where I can work closely with teams to solve complex technical challenges. I am skilled at implementing agile workflows using tools like Trello and Jira and enjoy mentoring junior developers to elevate team performance.

In terms of frontend expertise, I have built modern, responsive UIs using React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Material-UI, while integrating backend APIs for seamless user experiences. I am also familiar with external API integration, web scraping using Puppeteer, and managing content with systems like Sanity.io.

I am passionate about optimizing software for both performance and usability, always striving for high code quality and reliability. My goal is to continue leveraging my skills in fullstack development, backend microservices, and cloud infrastructure to deliver impactful software solutions for businesses.
