Aron in a few words
I'm a seasoned developer with over 8+ years of experience in developing and leading teams in building full-stack mobile/web applications. My expertise lies in the design, development, and maintenance of high-performance web applications, mainly leveraging the power of modern technologies like React, Next.js, Remix, Vite, and more. I use a variety of styling methodologies, including CSS Modules, Sass, Tailwind, or CSS-in-JS/TS solutions like Emotion, Styled Components and Vanilla Extract to craft intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that resonate with your brand.
Alongside my development skills, I can also offer mentoring, where I ensure your team is not only delivered a high-quality solution but also understands the underlying concepts. This empowers your team, fostering a learning environment and enabling them to make the most of the solution.
When it comes to backend, I specialise in constructing solutions using AWS as my preferred cloud provider. This involves the utilisation of key AWS services, including but not limited to AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch, and API Gateway. Furthermore, my service extends to building event-driven architectures, using AWS services like EventBridge, SQS, and SNS for real-time data processing and event sourcing.
An integral part of my service also covers end-to-end testing. I use a plethora of testing tools such as Jest/Vitest, React Testing Library and Cypress/Playwright, ensuring a thorough quality assurance process is adhered to. I'm flexible and can adapt my testing strategies to match your team's practices or adopt a Test-Driven Development approach, if preferred.
If you're looking for quality, reliability, and a fun, collaborative experience, let's talk. I can't wait to help you build something amazing!
