Profile: https://flows.cv/andrewwestwick

I'm a full-stack developer that enjoys working with Node, Java, PHP, Python, and .NET. I'm also passionate about UI/UX and love all flavors of front-end SPA frameworks - Vue, Angular and React. I have over 10 years experience in both small, fast-paced startups as well as larger enterprise settings and know what it takes to deliver value in both.

My dev skills include:
* Infrastructure (server, network and hosting environment): I'm a cloud evangelist and a big fan of AWS. I'm also well-versed in CI/CD pipelines and have lots of experience with Jenkins.
* Data & Data Modeling: I love working with databases and have experience with many types including MySQL, Redis and NoSQL solutions like Cassandra and Mongo.
* Back-end / Business Logic: I have worked with many different frameworks in different languages (primarily Node and PHP) and have created and maintained APIs for several projects.
* Front-end: Years of experience here have put me in a position to rapidly develop projects. HTML/CSS/JS are my bread and butter.
* UI/UX: I love creating beautiful apps that are a joy for people to use, and am quick to identify and understand what the user and businesses needs are.
