Hello, I'm Eli. I'm a full-stack software engineer. I enjoy building web & mobile apps. My focus is React / React Native.

About me

Passionate about creating things that bring joy to others. It's always satisfying overcoming challenges and problem solving as a software engineer. I thrive on collaboration, learning, and growing with my peers. To seek out better solutions, I am always committed to staying updated on the latest tech trends. My core stack is React, React Native, Node.js, and MongoDB. I am also familiar with TypeScript. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software engineer.

When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, listening to music, and watching movies / anime. I'm also exploring new interests like hiking and learning to play the guitar.

Reflex Integration Through Play (RITP)

Remote

RITP is a treatment planning and implementation method for Occupational Therapists working with special needs kids. I am working on the companion app, along with 3 other engineers and an engineering manager.
Transformed their physical memory game into a digital version within the app, and seamlessly integrated animations. The digital version of the game includes animations, music, and enables users to select from a broader range of excercises.
Enhanced exercise search functionality by implementing trie data structure with caching mechanisms, resulting in a 40% improvement in search speed
Implemented new designed playlist UX flow for users to edit their playlist and share with others.
Proposed subscription UX flow, and implemented subscription plans (free trial, monthly, and yearly).
Enhanced user onboarding with NUX (New User Experiences) APIs, tooltips, integration tests, and documentation. This included creating user NUX schemas, mutations, and queries, enabling the retrieval of NUX data from MongoDB to the client. These NUX APIs track tutorials, tooltips, and new user interactions across server and client environments.
Prototyped a custom video player which included playback controls, and AirPlay functionality.
