About Me
Hi, I'm Joshua Clifford "Dash" Reyes, a software engineer with over 10 years of hands-on experience building scalable, real-world applications across mobile, web, cloud, and eCommerce platforms. I started my journey in the early 2010s, coding Android apps on underpowered laptops (back when every compile felt like a coffee break). Since then, I've grown into backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and full-stack development using technologies like AWS, GCP, and Shopify.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to lead development teams, helping others grow while pushing projects forward with clean, maintainable code and thoughtful engineering decisions. I value design patterns and best practices for their structure, yet I'm equally inclined to prioritize simplicity and directness, aiming for solutions that are efficient, clear, and built to last.
I actively contribute to the open source community and continue to sharpen my skills through collaboration and shared learning. Outside the keyboard, I enjoy chess and strategy games, as they reflect the same mindset I bring to problem-solving in tech: plan smart, adapt fast, and play the long game.
