Profile: https://flows.cv/hiteshlala

As a Software Engineer I have built a number applications using diverse technologies across the full stack.  My approach to solving a problem is to break it down into smaller and smaller parts and tackle each independently, preferably in a modular way.  Creating impactful user experiences by utilizing data visualizations and intuitive interfaces is a strong design focus in my work.  I have experience using latest technologies like React, Angular, Node, TypeScript, Koa, Express, Redis, and MongoDB.
