I'm Mike Attara, a software engineer with a background in teaching science and mathematics.
I'm passionate about building products with delightful user experiences, and a desire to constantly learn and improve.
My strength lies within a solid understanding of the core JavaScript language, with hands-on experience in recent years in building scalable web applications using modern JavaScript tools like React, Redux, and Node.js. I also work with Typescript, Python, Ruby on Rails, Docker/Kubernetes, AWS
(I'm AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner π¨πΎβπ»), and build CI/CD pipelines using Github Actions
, CircleCI
, Travis
, Helm
, ArgoCD
, etc.
I enjoy working with people in cross-functional teams and learning new tools, best practices, and skills for building, delivering, and maintaining resilient software solutions. I also spend some time contributing to open source projects
, and organizing and teaching at workshops and meetups
, as I care about giving back to the community.
