Raquel Mijares

Senior Frontend Developer, Calgary

I take products from a rough idea to production, and leave the code easier to work in than I found it.

About

I’m a senior frontend developer in Calgary. I like owning a problem end to end: understanding what the product needs, planning it, building it, testing it and shipping it. I break big changes into pieces people can actually review, and I learn whatever the work calls for, from payment and privacy rules to Flutter for a live broadcast.

Most recently I built the web apps for Victory+ and Kidoodle.TV at APMC.

Products I’ve worked on: Victory+, Kidoodle.TV, Tugboat Logic (now OneTrust) and Kettl.

Work

This work lives in private repositories, so each project is a short write-up: the problem, what I did and what changed.

Recommendations

  • She’s proactive to the point of finding things to work on before anyone asks, she’s the first to pick up an urgent ticket, and she can run with projects and lead them on her own without needing much direction. She’s fast, efficient, and thorough all at once, which is a rare combination.

  • As a developer, she was never afraid of challenges, new technologies, or communicating with other teams. She was always responsive, proactive, and willing to take ownership.
