Calvin Barajas
I'm an extremely talented, well-rounded, competitive, collaborative, versatile, resourceful, driven, and dedicated frontend developer. I've specialized in MERN stack applications, and I'm well-versed in many technologies: Mongo, Express, React, Node, JavaScript, HTML, CSS/SCSS, Git/GitHub, Illustrator, Photoshop, Ubuntu, WordPress CMS, REST API, cloud hosting, UI principles, SEO, Google Analytics, and team lead. Of particular interest to me is working on challenging problems in a fast-paced environment.
I'm a first-generation Mexican-American born in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico. As a poor Mexican kid, learning English fluently, graduating from Palo Alto High School, getting a college degree from SJSU, working in IT for many years, and becoming a computer programmer were impossible dreams. Hard work, dedication, focus, and great parents allowed me to grow academically, athletically, and spiritually. My hobbies include: fitness, health, longevity, guitar, dancing, chess, and reading.
