Alex Rivera
Full-Stack Developer — Resume
I'm a full-stack developer with five years of experience building React applications and the APIs behind them. I care most about performance, accessibility, and shipping features that hold up under real usage. Outside of work I write about frontend engineering and contribute to open source.
