Michael Ray

Throughout my career, I’ve led development on SaaS platforms, e-commerce solutions, and data-driven tools that empower clients with real-time reporting, robust security, and seamless integrations. At Dataquest, I was instrumental in building cloud-based applications for financial data management—leveraging React and Node.js for the frontend/backend, and Python for high-volume data processing pipelines. I’ve also built microservices and REST APIs that integrate smoothly with third-party tools, ensuring fault tolerance and scalability.

My approach emphasizes clean architecture, maintainability, and performance. I regularly work with CI/CD tools like Docker, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins to streamline deployments and minimize downtime. I’m also passionate about testing and code quality, implementing frameworks like Jest, Cypress, and Postman to ensure product reliability.

I thrive in agile environments and have a strong history of collaborating with cross-functional teams—designers, QA, product managers—to deliver results quickly without compromising quality. Whether it's translating pixel-perfect UI designs into responsive interfaces or solving back-end bottlenecks, I approach every challenge with a focus on impact and continuous improvement.

Above all, I’m driven by the opportunity to build tools that solve real-world problems and enhance user experience. I’m always looking to grow as a developer and contribute to projects that demand innovation, technical depth, and collaboration.
