Profile: https://flows.cv/garrettrubinstein

I am a full stack software engineer with a passion for solving complex problems in order to help people. I believe that the user experience can make or break any application. My six years of prior experience as an Integration Engineer at Epic has only reinforced this user-focused mindset.
I specialize in Javascript and enjoy building responsive front-ends - especially with React - and scalable back-ends to deliver smooth user experiences. If you'd like to chat, please feel free to reach out here on LinkedIn, or by email at garrub.bergen@gmail.com - I look forward to speaking with you!
