Most of my experiences feature Ruby (Rails) on the backend, multiple flavours of React on the frontend, and GraphQL for all the fun data and API stuff. That said, I can pick up anything you want to throw at me!
Currently I am more interested in being an IC (individual contributor) who gets to work on challenging technical problems and mentor junior engineers. I'm also open to team lead roles. I did management for a bit, but have no plans on doing that right now.
