Hi, I'm Given Somdaka
Senior Software Engineer, Tech Leader, and Creative Professional passionate about building impactful digital experiences that solve real-world problems
About Me
I'm a seasoned software engineer with 10+ years of experience developing scalable, secure, and user-friendly digital solutions. My journey spans frontend mastery with tools like React and Tailwind CSS, to backend infrastructure using Node.js, Docker, and cloud platforms like AWS.
I've served in leadership roles including CTO at Levare Tech, where I guided teams through modernization efforts using the MERN stack and spearheaded strategic product rollouts. At the heart of my work is a commitment to clean, maintainable code, mentorship, and impactful innovation.
Whether it's building internal tools, customer-facing apps, or mentoring teams, I bring a blend of technical depth and people-first thinking. I've also built dozens of freelance solutions ranging from dashboards to landing pages and client-specific tools using Next.js, Stripe, and Vercel integrations.
