    "summary": "I'm an experienced Full-Stack Developer with a strong focus on web-based applications. I have a solid foundation in JavaScript/TypeScript, CSS, HTML, SQL, Node.js, and Express, and I've worked with and have a high aptitude for databases like Postgres, MySQL, Mongo DB, Redis, and ElasticSearch. I'm no stranger to Docker, and I enjoy crafting systems that run smoothly across different platforms.\n\nOver the years, I've grown proficient in front-end frameworks such as React, Vue.js and others. I'm passionate about enhancing application performance, security, and usability through effective organization and data manipulation. I've also had experience with SEO, server-side rendering and integration into single page applications.\n\nOne thing I highly value is the power of teamwork. I'm not afraid to step out of my comfort zone, champion new technologies, and encourage an open and supportive environment for everyone in the team. I consider these steps crucial in promoting healthy collaboration and innovation.\n\nQuality is a highly important to me, and I advocate for unit testing, tech debt resolution and anything else that will improve the developer experience and improve developer efficiency. It's about making sure we deliver top-quality applications as often as possible. I enjoy seeking out new challenges to refine my skills and produce applications that are both user-friendly and engaging.",
