About Me
Hi, I'm Casey Barbello, a Senior Full Stack developer with with over 8 years of experience working across the stack. I left my previous career at Meta to pursue my hobbies and find a position that better aligns with my interests.
I'm a curious person by nature, so I'm passionate about learning new things, deep-diving into complex problems, and solving bottlenecks. I can also work across the most silo'd of XFN pillars and do whatever is necessary to get a project over the line whenever business needs require it.
I also have a hardware side to me that started when I was a child (yes, I used to dumpster-dive for electronics to dissasemble). I have now accumulated enough stuff that I can often rapidly turn a random idea into reality.
