# Russell Fisher > Senior Software Engineer Location: Denver, Colorado, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/russellfisher I have experience working on large scale customer facing projects, building and maintained intuitive, functional, and engaging user interfaces while working remotely as a member of a distributed team. My experience is primarily with Angular UI using Typescript but I also have professional experience with ExpressJS, Ruby on Rails, and Laravel APIs. One of my biggest goals in any project is to create clean reusable code and I have driven the building and maintenance of systems for my last two positions including; lint rule libraries, unit test coverage and enforcement, and refactoring of existing functionality for reusability. I thrive in collaborative work environments, and in my last two positions I was able to contribute to all stages of the project from planning/documentation to development to testing to release. I worked with all members of my team including the product owner, UI/UX, QA, and DevOps at every stage to ensure that we are planning for the success of our application and in such a way that it can continue to improve and grow reliably while meeting the customer requirements and needs. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ SmarterX Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 Creating a crucial customer-facing portal utilized by hundreds of suppliers and leading retailers across the United States.
