Profile: https://flows.cv/ericsmith

I am a software engineer with a strong background in JavaScript and the frontend. I am primarily focused on React, Redux, HTML, CSS and other frontend technologies. I have experience working with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. I enjoy working with a team to find the best solution for a particular problem. I thrive in environments where communication is expected and team members work well together as well as autonomously. I enjoy any of the challenges that come with software engineering from tracking down a bug to high level design.
