Profil
My name is Michelle Swem, and I am a Senior Frontend Software Engineer with 6 years of experience leading the development of web applications using technologies and frameworks such as HTML, CSS/SASS, Tailwind CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, and Node.js. I am driven, creative, and passionate about technology.
I write clean, maintainable code and thrive in collaborative environments, delivering high-quality features even under tight deadlines. I have experience building web applications from initial stages to production, implementing UI designs, and integrating with REST APIs.
In my current role at Mercurie, I led the development of the Mercurie website and web application using technologies like TypeScript, Vue, Nuxt, Pinia, and Tailwind CSS. The application allows businesses to pay for SaaS services such as Google Workspace, Google Ads, AWS, and Zoho.
I also architected and engineered high-performance features for the Mercurie web app, which now serves businesses. I mentored four interns through a structured learning roadmap, leading to the successful completion of the Mercurie blog project. I have consistently promoted the adoption of the best tools and libraries to accelerate the development process.
At Artboard Design, I led the development of the Architectural Application, a platform that enables users to hire architects for home design projects seamlessly. In this role, I worked extensively with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Node.js, building features with a strong focus on accessibility, responsive design, and cross-browser compatibility. I designed and implemented a full-stack infrastructure that reduced load times by 50% and improved overall performance by 25%, while ensuring clean architectural patterns for long-term maintainability and sustainability. I also guided a cross-functional team of eight, promoting agile practices that sped up delivery by 35%, demonstrating technical expertise as well as the ability to mentor and drive team success. Additionally, I implemented automated testing practices using tools like Jest and Testing Library to ensure code quality. I also actively leveraged AI-assisted development tools, including GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini Code Assist, and CodeRabbit, to accelerate development, troubleshoot issues, and generate documentation efficiently.
At Clever Digital, I also led the development of key features for the Clever Moni banking app using React and TypeScript, improving performance through code splitting and lazy loading, and enhancing the overall user experience for faster, more intuitive banking.
I use AI tools like Gemini Code Assist and CodeRabbit in my daily workflow. For example, I utilize AI assistants like ChatGPT to generate boilerplate code, explore different implementation options, and find debugging suggestions. I rely on Gemini Code Assist as a coding companion in my VS Code, which speeds up development by suggesting code snippets. I also use CodeRabbit for code reviews in VS Code; for instance, when I finish writing code, I prompt it to review my work before submitting a pull request.
