Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I’m Samuel Rivera, a Front end engineer and web developer with more than 3 years of experience developing purposeful, consistent and attractive interfaces for business, startups and tech companies to appeal to clients and maintain their interest
I am a Computer Systems Engineer specialized in front-end web development with experience in diverse and modern backend and frontend technologies. This is the full list of the technologies I have learned for now:
I’ve been working remotely with small businesses around the US, Europe, and South America. Since I’ve mostly worked remotely, I had to learn how to manage my own time and projects, I also learned about digital marketing, branding, customer service, and how to sell myself, which I leverage in my development process to guarantee that the application delivers not only the functionalities but appeals the users as well. This is a list of tools I often use in my workflow:
This is a list of tools I often use in my workflow:
I was tasked to create a system to register and process the company’s contracts, I made an extensive analysis of the user stories told by +10 members of the company’s administration agency, then I designed the system on paper according to the company’s standards and methodologies, then developed an app on Codeigniter and used Postgres as a database, which was successfully integrated at the company’s regional area of operations workflow (The Orinoco Oil Belt)
One of the few jobs I took locally, it was about designing and develop a single page application with Vue and GraphQL, for a local crypto exchange that trades SteemDollars and Bitcoins for local currency. It was a success and now trades dozens of crypto and fiat currencies, and it is used by more than 13.000 users and made more than 265.000 transactions.
I have been working for more than 15 clients at Upwork and other platforms from different parts of the world, With an average rating of 4.93/5 stars per job done. With different scopes and requirements that range from technical support to developing or updating new themes and plugins for the WordPress platform.
I was hired again at Orinoco to join their team (OrinocoDEV) part-time, and support them with the development and refactoring of different web apps they've been building, including a Doordash clone and an online courses platform. The team needed to increase their productivity and code quality which i gladly offered my knowledge in software project methodologies to implement Test-driven development on their scrum methodology, increasing code quality and reducing technical debt as low as possible.
I started my journey installing mods on my videogames and tweaking them on Notepad. At college I went to a coding course, where I discovered my passion for creating solutions to problems through code. I graduated in Computer Systems engineering specialized in web applications. As I mostly worked freelance and remotely I had to learn how to manage my own time and projects, learn about digital marketing, branding, sales, and customer service, which apply daily as a Developer creating efficient, good looking Interfaces and with high usability for users.
I always love a new challenge, let’s work together, contact me and I will answer you as soon as possible!
