Mitchell Genova
Hi, my name is Mitchell Genova. I'm a Senior Frontend Developer from Pennsylvania, USA. I have 6 years of frontend experience, with a proficiency in React. I have experience with many tools, with two of my favorites being Tanstack-query and Typescript. I am very passionate about performance and scaling solutions. I have unique experience, by being involved in an early stage startup. This allowed me to work on problems, such as: having major influence on a new codebase and maturing the codebase into something scalable and consistent.
As a Senior Frontend Engineer at Leadr, I led and facilitated biweekly meetings for the frontend team, creating a collaborative environment to establish best practices and strategies for enhancing code quality and efficiency. My role involved spearheading initiatives such as the transition from Redux to React-Query and the consolidation of outdated packages, significantly improving application performance and user experience by optimizing resource utilization and adopting modern technologies.
As an Intermediate Frontend Engineer at Leadr, I collaborated with the design team to ideate and implement user-centric features, significantly boosting user satisfaction and enhancing the overall experience. My role also involved conducting comprehensive gap analyses and delivering high quality code, which enabled proactive identification of discrepancies and efficient integration with QA engineers, thus aligning product features closely with strategic project objectives.
As a Junior Frontend Engineer at Turning Technologies, I played a pivotal role in significant projects, including a complete UI rewrite and the transition of three applications from React to Angular, showcasing my adaptability and dedication to the team. I also collaborated closely with designers to independently develop and implement features, demonstrating self-sufficiency and effective communication skills while adhering to strict project timelines and maintaining high-quality standards.
As a Frontend Engineer intern at Turning Technologies, I demonstrated a rapid learning curve, fueled by a keen questioning mindset and unwavering commitment, which enabled me to play a significant role in transitioning the application from Bootstrap version 3 to version 4, resolving breaking changes to ensure seamless functionality. My dedication to maintaining high standards was further showcased as I developed comprehensive unit tests for React components using Jest and Enzyme, ensuring robust code coverage and reliable frontend functionality without compromising user experience.
I am continuously expanding my expertise and staying current with the latest technologies by actively engaging in advanced courses on Frontend Masters, ensuring I remain at the forefront of front-end development trends and best practices.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science at Youngstown State University.
