Staff Frontend Engineer \| victor\-fernandes\.com

## About

Thank you for going through my profile\. I'm a senior engineer specialised in frontend technologies bringing in over a decade of software development experience at various product based companies\. Some of my career highlights \(examples in work experience section\): I go beyond the bare minimum: I don’t just write working code but ensure it’s clean, well tested and as optimal as needed and ready to scale\. I put thought into accessibility and maintainability while meeting deadlines\. Always adaptable and learning: I can adapt to libraries, frameworks or even programming languages\. While I do have my set of strong skills, during my career I’ve often picked up skills while on the job and delivered\. Code at scale: With experience at Media\.net, Clevertap and Upwork, I have been directly involved with developing high performance running at scale\. \(Apps with 1M \+ daily requests, sdk with 40k \+ monthly downloads\)
