Hello, I'm Miguel

I'm a software engineer who specializes in web application design and development

Background

A little about me

I've been writing code since I was a teenager, and was fortunate enough to know exactly what I wanted to do in life. I love learning about the web, software engineering and computer science. Lately I've been experimenting in integrating AI tools into my development workflow.

Design

I appreciate straightforward content organization, uncluttered design elements, and meaningful user interactions.

Design tools:

  • Figma
  • Photoshop
  • Midjourney
  • LucidChart

Develop

I find joy in crafting code from the ground up, and take pleasure in translating concepts into tangible experiences.

Languages:

  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Python
  • PHP

Deploy

I ensure smooth implementation and optimal performance through seamless code deployment.

Technologies:

  • AWS
  • Vercel
  • GCP
  • CircleCI

Here's my professional background

I've had the pleasure of working for some great companies throughout my career. I also spent 10 years in college & university, obtaining four STEM degrees

Work Experience

  1. Senior Frontend Engineer @ Clever Real Estate

    I worked as a senior frontend engineer for the content and product teams. I was hired to build content authoring tools to scale the content platform, as well as create UI assets that were to be used on the sales platform. Having a lot more autonomy as a senior engineer, I was able to own a few full stack projects, from design to deployment.

  2. Software Engineer III @ Cars

    I worked as a feature developer on the web platform team as part of the Dealer Inspire brand. My primary responsibility was maintaining and enhancing the inventory display system, which was the flagship feature of the platform. Additionally I helped scale the platform by implementing integrations to support the Ford and Toyota brands.

  3. Senior Web Developer @ East Carolina University

    I worked as a senior web developer on the enterprise systems & operations team. I served as the SME in helping transition the university to using WordPress for 600+ sites, and created the university theme from scratch - which is still in use today. Apart from improving my development skills, I learned project management and how to coordinate effectively across multiple teams.

  4. JavaScript Developer @ Consultwebs

    I worked as a javascript developer on the research and development team, building some cool R&D tools and CRM dashboards. Occasionally I helped the production team with site and feature builds and the support team with break/fix issues on larger clients. I was also responsible for extending the functionality of our in-house admin platform.

Here are some companies I've collaborated with

I've had the opportunity to provide my engineering skills to several businesses to help them implement web based solutions, here are a few:

ABB
Red Shark Digital
Sizzlefish
Hedy & Hopp

Here are some projects I've worked on

There aren't enough hours in the day to build every idea that comes to mind, but I find time every now and again to work on something cool
