About me
đź‘‹ Hello! I'm Mike
Hello, I'm Miguel Angel Nadal, also known as Mike. I'm a frontend developer specialized on React, JavaScript and TypeScript. I like coding web apps, share and teach knowledge about frontend, and above all, I love my family, friends and traveling.
I'm a software developer graduated in Multimedia Engineering. I was born in 1992 in Valencia, Spain. I've been living here all my life with the exception of living in the UK for almost a year. After graduating at the University of Valencia, I started working at IBM Viewnext using Java, jQuery and Liferay for a year and a half. An opportunity came along and I moved to the UK for a while, where I began to explore and develop with newer frameworks.
I got a job at PCMS Group (currently known as Flooid) building PoS software with Angular. At this point in time is when I realized that what I really enjoy doing is frontend development (although I don't mind to be a fullstack developer). I came back to Valencia and joined a startup named HomySpace. I started working with React, TypeScript, Jest, AWS and all the frameworks that I used nowadays and I enjoy developing with.
My previous job was at New Work / XING. Here I managed to work as a Frontend Developer and also as an Android Developer using Kotlin. Is always cool to learn new languages and they gave me the opportunity to do it, which I really appreciate! (but I'm not going to lie, frontend is where I belong). On my current job, I'm developing as frontend for CommerceTools.
Technologies that I use and I'm familiar with
- For the frontend: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, GraphQL, Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, HTML5, CSS3.
- For the backend: Java, Kotlin, NodeJS
- Tech & frameworks that I know but I don't use as often: Angular, Vue, JSP, Liferay, AWS
