Profile: https://flows.cv/benkalish

Full-stack software engineer with ~2 years of hands-on experience building and maintaining production web and mobile applications in JavaScript and TypeScript.

Currently a long-term contract engineer at a tech company, where I contribute across the stack — from React and React Native frontends to Node.js backend services and SQL-backed data workflows. I started in a mobile-focused role and grew into full-stack ownership, delivering features end-to-end and supporting systems in production.

I’ve worked on improving application reliability and performance, introduced automated testing where none existed, and regularly investigate and resolve production issues. I value clear communication, maintainable code, and practical engineering decisions that support real users.

Core technologies: TypeScript, React, Next.js, React Native, Node.js, Express, SQL, automated testing, Docker.
