Profile: https://flows.cv/mattstrom

With over four years of work experience as a software engineer, I am passionate about building scalable, performant, and user-friendly web applications that solve real-world problems. I have a strong background in full-stack development, with expertise in Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and AWS. At Facebook, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop and improve the internal applications that power FB's data centers around the world.

In my previous role at Uber, I was responsible for architecting and building focused internal applications for Design and UX writing teams. I also developed tools and processes to ensure the integrity and quality of content being delivered to people in diverse markets around the world, across all company verticals. I leveraged my skills in JavaScript, React, Node.js, and Express to create robust and reliable solutions that enhanced user experience and satisfaction. I am always eager to learn new technologies and frameworks, and to apply best practices and industry standards to my work.
