Cristian Elias

I’m a seasoned Fullstack Javascript developer and Project Leader who is passionate about creating cohesive, delightful and blazing fast user experiences. I prefer working for a company that has a product of their own since I am driven by my passion to add value to it. I have worked with a plethora of technologies. My strongest suit is: 💫 Javascript ES6 💫 React.js, Redux 💫 Node.js, Express.js 💫 CSS3, Emotion CSS, Styled components, CSS modules, Framer-motion 💫 Mocha, Chai, Jest, Sinon 💫 Webpack, Parcel, esbuild 💫 HTML5 I’m familiar with agile methodologies, specifically SCRUM. I have several years of experience creating roadmaps that break down complex business requirements into attainable milestones. Whenever priorities change, adapting these plans and offering MVP alternatives is second nature to me. As a developer I believe that the adoption of best practices play a fundamental role in delivering resilient and scalable products on time. I have seen how increasing testing coverage, code readability and reusability have a tremendous positive impact on both user/developer experience as well as on time to deliver new features. I consider myself to be a programming enthusiast that stays up to date in this everchanging field. In my spare time I’m always looking to improve my understanding of programming paradigms, best practices, testing methodologies like TDD, frameworks, libraries, design patterns and the newest features of Javascript / React. I am careful not to fall in the comfort zone by trying new technologies, doing code katas, teaching and taking code challenges. In the last year I started working in the most advanced code challenges by FrontendMentor.io in order to put my skills to the test. As a leader and teammate I am always looking for ways of helping others. I believe that the value of my experience is multiplied everytime I share it with others. I consider myself to be empathetic, polite and caring with others. I am a people person and I really enjoy getting to know new faces. As a stakeholder I love envisioning and sharing new ideas with the team in order to iteratively improve our product. I strongly believe that the meaning of life is to get to know our true nature and give our absolute best in order to reach its calling. My nature demands being in constant motion and continuously overcoming harder challenges. Although I possess a positive mindset, I am a perfectionist and I’m not easily satisfied with my work. I think it’s always possible to do better.
