Summary
Ian Likono is a pragmatic software engineer with 9 years of experience building full-stack and cloud-backed applications, currently based in Dallas and actively working across multiple engineering roles. He moves fluidly between React/Redux front-ends and Node/Express or GraphQL backends, and has production experience with SQL, MongoDB, Neo4j, Redis, websockets and Azure App Services from his time as a cloud engineer. Ian has shipped projects ranging from award-winning student apps and a personal e-commerce venture to enterprise cloud work at Microsoft, demonstrating both entrepreneurial drive and large-team collaboration.
