Frontend developer w/ Node js expertise

As a developer, I specialize in Frontend, creating modular components to build scalable applications using ReactJS. Earlier in my career I used the scripting language PHP to build web applications. JQuery and other JS libraries were used to manage the UI at that time.

I always had an interest in learning JavaScript and I kept exploring the ecosystem. When I joined new organization I got an opportunity to work in Node.js to build backend API system, using a few databases. And now for a couple of years, I am completely focusing on the Frontend side where I use React JS, HTML, CSS along with other UI tools to build beautiful Frontend apps!
