View ProjectCultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's personal projects show a strong inclination towards DevOps, infrastructure as code (HCL/Terraform), and backend/system-level tasks (AWS, Tailscale, Trivy, Home Automation). While there are some frontend technologies listed (JavaScript, CSS, HTML, React), the overall project portfolio leans heavily away from a dedicated 'Frontend Developer' role, suggesting a potential mismatch in primary interest and expertise with the target role. The 'scouts-social-media-platform' and 'home-automation' projects do show practical application of frontend skills.
