Hi, I'm Enrique René (@enriquerene), a Software Engineer based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My 10+ years journey as a freelancer and 3+ years in an outsourcing offshore software company has shaped me into a collaborative problem solver who’s always ready to take on new challenges and grow. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and excel at translating client needs into technical solutions.

As a FullStack Engineer, my core expertise lies in RESTful Systems and hybrid mobile applications. I have a strong foundation in the LAMP stack, which has been the cornerstone of my development work. As my career progressed, a passion for TypeScript was born and I consider MERN as my stack with some focus on NestJS as backend framework.

• PHP Programming: My primary expertise is in PHP development, with a strong foundation in frameworks like Slimframework and Symfony, and a keen interest in exploring Laravel. This forms the backbone of my backend development work, enabling me to build robust, scalable web applications.
• ReactJS: Profound experience in developing dynamic and responsive user interfaces, leveraging the complete lifecycle of it. Skilled in both class and functional components, hooks, and context API.
• React Native: Specializing in React Native for mobile app development, I focus on crafting high-performance, native-like mobile applications. This expertise is central to my capabilities in delivering comprehensive mobile solutions.
• WordPress Development: A significant part of my skill set is dedicated to WordPress, where I am adept at custom plugin and theme development, WP CLI, WP REST API, and integrating e-commerce solutions with the Woocommerce plugin. Rapid development and successful outcomes.
• MySQL Database: Experienced in database design and management using MySQL, ensuring data integrity and performance in web applications.
• AWS and Docker: Proficient in AWS services (S3, EC2, CloudFront, ECS, RDS) and containerization with Docker, including setting up CI/CD pipelines.
• MERN Stack Awareness: While my core expertise lies in the LAMP stack, I have a solid understanding of the MERN stack, particularly with NestJS for server-side development and hybrid mobile application with Angular and Ionic. My experience here includes building scalable applications and small prototypes, highlighting my versatility and openness to diverse tech stacks.
• TDD, BDD and Agile Practices: Committed to quality and efficiency through Test-Driven and Behavior-Driven Development, and well-versed in Agile methodologies, including Scrum.
• Analysis and Monitoring: Skilled in using analysis and monitoring tools like Google Analytics, Sentry, and Loggly to optimize application performance and enhance user engagement.

My career trajectory is focused on gaining certifications and professional recognition in key areas of my expertise. I am currently planning to achieve the AWS Solutions Architect certification, reflecting my proficiency and commitment to cloud technologies. Additionally, enhancing my project management and team leadership skills is a priority, for which I am pursuing Scrum Master and Professional Agile Leadership certifications from Scrum.org. To further cement my technical abilities, I aim to obtain certifications in ReactJS and UI/UX from reputable institutions. These certifications will not only validate my skills but also open new avenues for professional growth in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
