Hi there 👋

Introduction

I'm Solomon Antoine, a dynamic software engineer with a proven track record in entrepreneurial ventures and technical leadership. Specializing in full-stack development, I have successfully founded and scaled tech platforms, merging innovative ideas with robust engineering practices.

What got me into tech?

My tech journey began in high school when I founded FAVR, a marketplace for tasks and chores, sparking my interest in tech solutions. Though it didn't last, the experience paved my way into software engineering, enabling me to dive deep into both front-end and back-end technologies without formal qualifications.

What am I doing today?

• GoodRun: As a Co-Founder, I built and scaled this sports connection app to $270K in revenue, supporting thousands of users and multiple facilities with complex booking and payment systems.
• Icodestuff: I create and share programming tutorials across various platforms, growing a community of over 20,000 followers interested in modern web technologies.
• Popus Gives: As a Fractional CTO, I developed a fundraising platform from scratch, incorporating advanced payment integrations and deployment strategies.
• Professional Roles: At Petfinder, I led the integration of a GraphQL gateway to modernize their system architecture, and at Google Next, I developed key front-end components for high-visibility projects.

Favorite Tech

• Languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, GraphQL
• Frameworks: NextJS, Angular, Laravel, Symfony, React
• Tools: AWS, Docker, Git, CI/CD with Jira

I thrive on solving complex problems and pushing the boundaries of technology to deliver exceptional user experiences and robust backend solutions. Let's connect!
