Almer Mendoza

Software Engineer and People Manager

Hey there! I'm a seasoned full-stack software engineer specializing in up-to-date web development standards. With a background in data integration, particularly in the dynamic fields of Geospatial and Health, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and customer-focused skills.

I excel in leading both large teams for major client projects and lean teams for product development. With a track record of successful technical discussions with customers and clients, I am adept at simplifying complex ideas. I'm also actively involved in internal initiatives and technical standardization groups, ensuring our organization stays at the forefront of innovation.

Currently, I'm focused on building exceptional JS applications using React, Express, and FastAPI. Leveraging the power of Google Cloud Platform, I seamlessly integrate cloud services for optimal performance.
