Hello, I'm Jaro

This role began as a capstone project and turned into an internship, where I stepped into a Lead Developer position. I led full-stack development using React for the frontend and Node.js with Express and MySQL on the backend, contributing to both core features and overall application architecture.

In addition to hands-on development, I provided technical leadership through code reviews, architectural guidance, and mentoring, ensuring the usage of best practices and maintaining high code quality across the team.

I designed and implemented automated CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI to streamline testing and deployments, significantly improving development efficiency and release reliability.

Build a modern business website for a gym, featuring user authentication, admin dashboard, and a reservation calendar. I also maintain the website and ensure its smooth operation.

I used this freelance job as a learning experience to learn multiple different technologies that I was interested in.

Led fullstack development on two projects—one internal and one client-facing—taking ownership of both frontend and backend work. I designed backend architectures and database schemas, ensuring scalable and maintainable systems.

Beyond development, I supported project managers in planning and prioritizing tasks, often helping shape the project roadmap. I also served as the technical lead, guiding implementation decisions and mentoring where needed.

Occasionally, I consulted on other projects, offering input on architecture and development best practices when asked.
