👋 Hi!

I'm Jesse Lewis — Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 15+ years building large-scale, high-performance web applications. I chase full-stack Node.js and React/Next.js roles: designing resilient APIs with NestJS, architecting event-driven microservices on AWS with Terraform, and delivering tested, performant frontends. Most recently I led front-end modernization on HIPAA-regulated healthcare platforms and served as acting solutions architect for an AWS IoT pharmaceutical PaaS. Based in Eugene, OR — open to remote full-stack roles.

🚀 Full-Stack, Cloud-First

My stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, NestJS, Node.js on the app layer — Terraform and AWS (SQS, Cognito, CloudWatch, RDS Aurora, DynamoDB) on the infrastructure layer. I've modernized legacy codebases to Vite, built SQS-driven async workflows, designed component libraries with MUI, and shipped 85–90%+ test coverage with Jest, Cypress, Vitest, and Playwright. I care about the whole system — from API contract to CI/CD pipeline to production observability with Datadog.

🛠️ Tools

Frontend: React, Next.js, Vite, Redux, MUI, styled-system, Storybook · Backend: NestJS, Express, Node.js, Django REST · Cloud & IaC: AWS (SQS, Cognito, CloudWatch, RDS Aurora, DynamoDB), Terraform, GitHub Actions, CircleCI · Testing: Jest, Vitest, Cypress, Playwright, RTL · Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch · Observability: Datadog, LaunchDarkly, Auth0, Okta

🔧 Behind this site's curtain

I put this portfolio together using the same stack I reach for in production — a Turborepo monorepo with a Next.js frontend on Vercel and a NestJS API on Railway. Blog articles are MDX files served from the NestJS app, rendered with next-mdx-remote and syntax-highlighted with highlight.js. Feature flags live in Postgres via Prisma. Fast, cheap, and fun to work on.
