      Software Engineer - Frontend

      - I played a pivotal role as a Front-end Developer by working directly with the client Elephants Inc., an Italy-based company.- Converting design into fully functional UI, added analytics using Hotjar and Google Tag manager.- Developing reusable components to optimise performance and writing the business logic utilizing and creating APIs using the Next.js APIs route. - Writing GraphQL queries and mutations, enabling efficient data handling. Additionally, I took charge of the end-to-end (E2E) testing process using Cypress, ensuring the robustness of our applications.- One noteworthy accomplishment during my time was successfully migrating the project from Next.js v12 to the more advanced Next.js v13 which was still in its initial phase, which involved meticulous planning and execution to ensure a seamless transition. These experiences have enriched my skill set and deepened my expertise in front-end development, making me eager to take on new challenges in this dynamic field. Show less
