Profile: https://flows.cv/danielshiferaw

I'm a full-stack software engineer with a strong interest in building end-to-end solutions—from crafting responsive, intuitive UIs to architecting scalable backend systems. My professional background reflects this breadth, with experience developing modern web applications using TypeScript and React, working with RESTful services, and building backend systems with ASP.NET and Node.js, leveraging a range of Azure services spanning compute, storage, monitoring, and identity. I enjoy working across this core stack because it allows me to think holistically about performance, usability, and maintainability. My broader technical skillset, gained through continuous learning and side projects, also includes experience with Next.js, GraphQL, and FastAPI. Outside of work, I stay curious by exploring side projects—most recently building a market listing aggregator powered by LLMs—and continually sharpening my skills through hands-on learning and experimentation.
