Matt Schafer

I have experience with frontend technologies such as HTML, CSS, Javascript, React and Typescript and I think this would be a great fit for me. Over the past couple of years, I’ve had challenges getting a job. The pandemic hit shortly after I finished college and I had jaw surgery in summer 2020, which took me off the job market for a few months. I've had a communication challenge since I was very little but excelled at problem solving. In the end, I always come through.I am currently working at my Dad's company, where I am working full-time but not getting paid. I am looking for a position where I can be independent and paid full-time.For my current position, I am working on the UI for an analytics application using React and Typescript and running it against a REST back-end. In it, I've dealt with performance, refactoring, and localization. I’ve worked with other developers on Zoom, seeking guidance from senior developers on what to do next for my project and how to address problems in my code. I’ve participated in stand-ups and worked from a Jira backlog to update the progress of my project. In it, I’ve written bugs, figured out the causes, and committed my fixes to Github where they are reviewed, tested, and then pushed to production.I've also developed my own back-end service for a charity, running it in docker in AWS and fetching the organization data using a Salesforce API and Facebook API.
