About Me
Hi, I’m Shay! 😊
I’ve been in the hi-tech world for a long time now as a Senior Developer, and I still love every bit of it. I’m a firm believer in working hard and staying passionate, but what makes me truly happy is working with nice people and building great things together. Having a great team of smart, like-minded people around me is what really makes the job fun! ✨
I’m a problem-solver at heart. If there’s a challenge, I’m diving in head-first, no matter the tech stack! Over the years, I’ve built a really strong knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Java, using them to craft everything from snappy UIs to heavy-duty backends. 🛠️😊
There’s a special kind of pride I take in seeing my work reach millions of users every single day. Handling that kind of astronomical scale is a huge responsibility, but it's one I love. It keeps me focused on writing clean, high-quality code that can handle anything the world throws at it! 🚀👋
