# Christian Chavarro > Senior Software Engineer at Autolist | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Senior Frontend Engineer | React, TypeScript, Next.js, GraphQL | Hot Wheels collector Location: Austin, Texas, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/christianchavarro When I'm not collaborating with product and engineering teams to build responsive and performant user-facing experiences, you'll find me at a local car meet checking out the exotic, the bizarre, and the unique. I'm a full stack developer with over 6 years of experience. I've worked with teams to design, scope, and deliver products in the health tech and automotive marketplace sectors. I have been among the first engineer hires in several start ups which gave me the opportunity to build from the ground up, iterate quickly and decisively, and make significant contributions to the codebase. I primarily work with TypeScript and React, and Next.js, though I've also heavily used React Native, GraphQL and Redux in previous and current roles.
