About Me

Hey, I am Jeffrey, a web developer with three years of industry experience. My journey kicked off in 2020 when I joined Lighthouse Lab, a web development coding boot camp in which I sharpened my skills in full-stack development and coding in general.

In 2021, I landed my first job at Requiti Capital as a software developer with a focus on creating new UIs.

In 2022, I joined flöka as a full-stack developer, in addition to converting UX/UI designs into customer-facing features, I contributed to creatng and maintaining backend routes and services to ensure smooth user experiences.

Most recently, I worked at mimik as a Backend Web Developer, where I built and maintained microservices, REST APIs, event-driven workflows, OpenAPI specifications, and data migration tools for an edge-cloud platform. This experience strengthened my understanding of backend architecture, distributed systems, API design, and building reliable services that integrate across multiple teams and products.
