> Software Engineer with a Front End Focus

Location: Oakland, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/iansayre

For well over seven years I have been using my front-end software engineering skills to help many companies of various sizes (small startups to established media giants) deliver top notch user experiences to their users. The teams I've worked with in those companies range from two members to twelve; working either in office or all remote (even before current events made remote necessary).

The last five years has seen a large focus on React, Redux, and Javascript (ES6+); as well as a more recent focus on TypeScript and GraphQL. In future roles, I hope to continue honing my skills in these areas as well as get more back-end experience so I can be a more well rounded full-stack engineer that can tackle any challenge a team may face.

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Web Design & Interactive Media from The Art Institute of California - San Francisco.
