Hi
I'm Avi

I'm a full stack web developer


Background in chemistry. Passion for tech. New York-based.

Currently working as a Senior Content Engineer at Beacon Platform Inc.


About Me

My experience in the sciences has gotten me involved in various industries including water, chemical, and utilities.

However, none of these industries have piqued my curiosity and interest quite like technology. After having serendipitously stumbled upon the field of web development, I had found a new passion in life.

My particular area of focus has been the MERN stack, but I am always eager and willing to learn new technologies!

I currently work as a Senior Content Engineer on Beacon Platform's Technical Documentation team. I use Gatsby, a React-based static site generator, to source and publish content from multiple repositories and content management systems.

At my former role at Fragrance.com, I used Perl, MySQL, jQuery, JavaScript, and LESS on the legacy monolithic codebase. On the replatform effort, I used TypeScript and GraphQL.

I had also been exposed to Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes when setting up the infrastructure for microservices.

In addition, I used React Native to work on Fragrance.com's iOS and Android mobile apps.
