# Patrick Puga > Senior Software Engineer | React & TypeScript | Frontend Architecture | AI Products Location: Denver, Colorado, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/patrickpuga Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable web and mobile applications. I specialize in React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture, with a focus on creating high-performance interfaces for complex, data-driven products. At Nutrien, I work on the Digital Hub — an enterprise platform used across North America, Canada, and Australia that supports agronomists, retailers, and field teams. My work spans both web and React Native applications, where I contribute to micro-frontend architecture, cross-platform UI development, and the evolution of shared design systems and component libraries. I collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and product teams to deliver resilient, performant features across web, iOS, and Android. Earlier in my career I worked across backend services and enterprise systems, including building Python-based APIs and modernizing legacy applications. That broader systems background helps me approach frontend architecture with a strong understanding of performance, reliability, and end-to-end product design. More recently I’ve also contributed to the integration of AI-powered product features, including conversational assistant experiences within the Digital Hub. I’m particularly interested in modern product architectures, strong developer experience, and emerging AI-powered user interfaces. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Nutrien Jan 2021 – Present | Loveland, CO Work on the Nutrien Digital Hub, an enterprise platform supporting agronomists and retail operations across North America, Canada, and Australia. • Develop scalable web and mobile applications using **React, React Native, TypeScript, and GraphQL**, supporting complex data workflows across the Digital Hub platform. • Contribute to the **micro-frontend architecture** of the Digital Hub by building new application modules and evolving existing frontends across web, tablet, and mobile environments. • Help develop and maintain **shared design systems and component libraries**, enabling consistent UI patterns and improving development velocity across multiple engineering teams. • Work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to translate complex business requirements into intuitive, performant user interfaces. • Improve performance and reliability in data-heavy applications by optimizing rendering behavior, reducing unnecessary re-renders, and implementing resilient UI patterns for large datasets and real-time workflows. • Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews to maintain high engineering standards and ensure long-term maintainability across the Digital Hub ecosystem. • Contribute to the frontend integration of **AI-powered product features**, including conversational assistant experiences within the platform. ### Senior Software Developer @ KILIUDA CONSULTING Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 | El Paso, Texas Area Worked with the U.S. Department of Justice’s El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) to modernize legacy investigative systems, replacing a monolithic application with a modern SaaS platform for law enforcement event deconfliction and operational coordination. • Developed core features for a modern React-based SaaS platform, enabling law enforcement agencies to coordinate simultaneous operations and share investigative data. • Architected and implemented Node.js microservices to support migration from legacy monolithic systems to a scalable microservices architecture. • Built a geospatial search microservice using Apache Solr, significantly improving location query performance compared to legacy SQL-based calculations. • Designed and delivered a React Native proof-of-concept mobile application, demonstrating rapid delivery of mobile capabilities for field operations. • Developed a drug seizure reporting application used to identify vehicle hidden compartments, combining modern frontend frameworks with backend services. • Improved maintainability of legacy systems by refactoring and modularizing application code, introducing reusable components and clearer architectural boundaries. ### Software Engineer @ Rolling Bay LLC Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 | El Paso, TX Contracted to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) Innovation and Special Programs Unit, supporting mission-critical law enforcement applications while contributing to modernization efforts. • Developed and maintained frontend and backend features for investigative tools using React, Java, and SQL. • Contributed to backend modernization initiatives by helping transition legacy .NET monolithic systems toward a microservices architecture, improving scalability and maintainability. • Collaborated with cross-functional engineering teams to enhance application reliability, performance, and maintainability in high-security environments. ### Display Applications Engineer @ Micron Technology Jan 2011 – Jan 2012 | Longmont, CO Application Engineer supporting Micron’s FLCOS (ferroelectric liquid crystal on silicon) microdisplay technology, working with customers to integrate micro-projection systems into prototype and production hardware. • Collaborated with external partners to integrate Micron microdisplay components into custom hardware and product prototypes. • Assisted in development and testing of Micron’s POP iPhone 4 pico projector mobile application, identifying and documenting key issues during early product development. • Developed automated display testing scripts using assembly language and MATLAB, significantly increasing device testing throughput and improving validation workflows. • Authored technical documentation covering display scaling, memory access/programming, and thermal design considerations to support customer integration and accelerate development cycles. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering The University of Texas at El Paso ### Master of Science (MS) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering The University of Texas at El Paso ## Contact & Social -
