Hi, I’m Thomas Zangari, a software solutions and web engineer with 9+ years of experience across the full stack, specializing in MERN/MEAN and modern cloud-native architectures. I paused my career to pursue upskilling in AI and AI-driven development, and I’m continually expanding my toolkit across Node.js, Java, React/Angular, NestJS, Next.js, GraphQL, Kafka, databases, and cloud-based DevOps practices. I’ve delivered backend and frontend modernization, built CI/CD pipelines, containerized with Docker and Kubernetes, and mentored cross-functional teams. I’m passionate about clean code, TDD/BDD, and collaborating with product and security teams to drive robust, observable systems on AWS and GCP.
