Tamara Alhajj Full-Stack Developer

At a glance

I'm a senior software developer focused on building web apps and APIs integrations for SaaS products and nonprofit. My main tools are JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, Python, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL. I value thoughtful, ethical systems and practical testing. I use Storybook, Mocha, Chai, Sinon for component level and unit testing... but never TDD!

I hold a CS degree from Carleton and am pursuing my Master's part-time at Georgia Tech. Lately, I've been exploring AI and data tools like NumPy, Pandas, Tableau, and Jupyter, as well as integrating with AI APIs like OpenAI and Hugging Face.

I thrive in collaborative environments, whether it's pair programming, code reviews, or mentoring. I'm always eager to learn and grow, and I love sharing knowledge with others. Outside of work, I enjoy pilates, baking, and reading (currently re-reading The Alchemist 💕).
