I'm Eduardo Vargas Leffa, a Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building scalable, high-performance web applications. My primary focus is on React, Next.js, and TypeScript, with strong backend skills in Node.js, PHP, and SQL databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. I design modular, clean codebases, integrate RESTful APIs, and deliver features from architecture to deployment. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and continuously apply SOLID principles, automated testing (Jest, Playwright, Cypress), and tooling like Docker, Git, and CI/CD. I work across frontend and backend layers to build end-to-end solutions, mentor teammates, and contribute to technical discussions that improve performance and reliability. I enjoy accelerating development with AI-assisted workflows (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT), leading knowledge-sharing sessions, and delivering maintainable features with a focus on quality and scalability.
