Hello,
my name is Marc Mascarell and this is my
resume
About Me
As an Engineering Manager, I love to empower my team by giving them the tools and resources to achieve their best. I tend to be on the optimist side of things, but I'm also a critic when I have to.
My 10+ years of experience as a Full Stack Developer working on dozens of projects gave me the needed technical skills and vision to accomplish any idea.
Working on startups gave me this mindset of trying to deliver value to the costumer, test and repeat.
Remote work is a game-changer challenge, but it is here to stay, and that is why I think it is more important than ever for companies to invest the necessary resources in making people feel connected.
In my dev days I worked on a wide variety of projects and tasks: high concurrency websites, ecommerce, websites for celebrities, administration panels, tools, browser extensions, SPAs, MVPs, migrations, basic server management, sizeable refactors, testing, deployment, etc… Since I'm eager to learn, and become better on a daily basis, refactoring was one of my favorite moments.
