# Arash Afghahi > Full-stack Developer | Python | JavaScript | React | Python | Ruby Location: Littleton, Colorado, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/arash I am a software engineer with a desire to create fun and easy to use programs that people can use to enhance their day to day lives. I value equal access to information and education above all. How user's interact with my work is really important to me, I want my projects to be visually stimulating and intuitive to navigate. As a full-stack developer I have experience using Ruby on Rails, Python React, Redux, JavaScript, Express.js, Node.js, SQL, Flask, and MongoDB. Prior to being a developer I was a Math and Computer Science teacher in Brooklyn. Hobby-wise, I love playing board games and card games, biking and going hiking. ## Work Experience ### AI and Data Engineer III @ Deloitte Jan 2023 – Present | New York, United States ### Apache Superset Commiter @ The Apache Software Foundation Jan 2021 – Present - Contributed over 200 merged commits to the Apache Software Foundation. - Member of the Developer Experience Guild. - Technical Lead for the Apache Superset 2.0.1 release, and individually contributed 97 new fixes and features to the main Docker release image. ### Full Stack Engineer @ Preset Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 - Contributed over 200 merged commits to the Apache Software Foundation. - Enabled 3X increase in customers using the product through building a tool in React and TypeScript for chart and dashboard report creation. - Technical Lead for the Apache Superset 2.0.1 release, and individually contributed 97 new fixes and features to the main Docker release image. - Designed and implemented core features in Flask and React, including new models for saved queries, and improving data ingestion. - Improved developer onboarding by contributing startup scripts and development tools for the Flask backend of Apache Superset’s Developer Experience Guild. - Collaborated with Preset’s Data team to create efficient logging mechanisms to track the customer journey. ### Frontend Developer @ Who's Saving The Planet Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Brooklyn, New York, United States - Assisted in deployment of production grade website using Next.js, GraphQL, and Tailwind. - Worked with Design team in creating Figma designs for new features and sections of the website. ### Frontend Developer @ breathing.ai Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 - Integrated Breathing.ai’s Flask backend machine learning model into a frontend tool that leverages metrics to help a user’s productivity, recommending breaks and adjusting their browser color. - Developed Chrome extension and web app in React and Flask based off of the design team’s Figma designs. - Supported frontend team as a sprint planner coordinating daily standups and GitHub pull requests. ### Computer Science and Math Teacher @ Expeditionary Learning School for Community Leaders Jan 2016 – Jan 2020 - Started and led the 12th grade team for three years, created intervisitation and student conference procedures which were later adopted by the entire staff.
