- Frontend: Strong experience building modern, responsive UI components in React directly from Figma designs.
- Backend: Expertise designing, building, and securing RESTful APIs with Node.js.
- Database: Deep knowledge of PostgreSQL, including relational data modeling, writing SQL queries, and managing schema migration scripts.
- Testing Beyond Unit Level: Hands-on experience implementing integration and end-to-end (E2E) testing strategies (e.g., Cypress, Playwright, Supertest) alongside standard unit testing.
- Design and implement full-stack application features across the React frontend, Node.js backend, and PostgreSQL schema.
- Translate design team mockups from Figma into clean, responsive, and reusable React components and views.
- Build and maintain the REST API layer handling communication between frontend and backend services.
- Design and evolve the PostgreSQL relational data model to support new application capabilities.
- Author SQL queries and write schema migration scripts to execute database updates safely across environments.
- Write unit tests for new and modified code as a standard part of the software development lifecycle.
- Build and maintain integration and end-to-end (E2E) tests to validate user journeys and system interactions beyond the unit level.
- Provision, deploy, and configure application components on Google Cloud Platform—including runtime services, managed PostgreSQL (Cloud SQL), and Cloud Storage—using Terraform.
- Set up, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines covering automated builds, test execution, container image generation, and deployments.
- Participate in collaborative working sessions with OnTrac project teams and external partner stakeholders (such as SADA) to define requirements and establish technical approaches.
