I would like to do both Backend work and Frontend work using some of the latest technologies such as Django, React, Redux and Docker. I would love to improve my skills in API design and start working more with micro-services. I am a team player who is able to communicate effectively. Someone who embraces challenges but does not hesitate to ask for help from colleagues. Someone who likes coming up with creative solutions and someone who takes an interest in reading about and testing new technologies. As a developer, my next goal is to move to the senior level. Being in charge of and responsible for big projects from ideation, creation, and completion, while looking over and guiding junior and mid-level engineers. I would like to work for a company that embraces thoughts and ideas from staff and developers. A company that has open communication and a company that loves to use cutting-edge technologies. A company that cares more about the work done and the quality of the work rather than the hours clocked. A company that embraces remote work, has a medical aid and pension fund for its employees and one that rewards excellent work with bonuses.
