I started my career as a front end web development focused web developer over 16 years ago, but ultimately couldn't help but spread out into full stack and desktop/cli/mobile/game development territory leveraging both web technology and my exposure to most popular back end options and my natural curiosity leading to new things. I hit heavily in the following skillsets: * Core web technology - HTML/CSS/JS/Browser APIs * Regularly solving complex UI, web app, and layout problems * Animation/game development via web technology - CSS, vanilla JS, three.js, whatever you want to throw at me if it's based in web technology, and probably even if it's not, but haven't had that opportunity yet * Depth in vanilla JavaScript and its ecosystem - I know how to write maintainable vanilla JavaScript, taking full advantage of features unique or mostly unique to JS. I am of course very familiar with node.js, webpack, most of the popular frameworks, TS, and plenty of experience with legacy libs like jQuery. * Broad back end knowledge - I have plenty of exposure Java, C#, Python, Rails, PHP and many of the frameworks/CMSes/solutions built around those technologies * Databases - I'm very comfortable working in SQL and JS-originating non-SQL db solutions * RegEx Literacy - Very helpful for text problems, scraping problems, tweaking URLs across multiple CMS databases for SEO problems, etc. It was like a hobby that turned into occasionally a golden hammer for just the right kind of nail. * Picking up new stuff as I go - I'm long past that point in my career where I have any trepidation about jumping into a new language, framework or library when required and have the resume to show for it. * Legacy Web Development - I've been on the front end since IE6 support was still a thing. If you have a legacy site that needs support, or an upgrade, I'm going to know all the old stuff like why somebody added zoom:1 all over a bunch of CSS classes or what the heck somebody was doing with 'new function()' * Just the right amount of hubris - I'm very proud of the many occasions I've been able to offer solutions people were afraid to ask for. On big asks my answer is almost never "no," at worst "Possible but likely more expensive than you'd like. What's the business problem that needs to be solved?"…

I started my career as a front end web development focused web developer over 16 years ago, but ultimately couldn’t help but spread out into full stack and desktop/cli/mobile/game development territory leveraging both web technology and my exposure to most popular back end options and my natural curiosity leading to new things. I hit heavily in the following skillsets:

  • Core web technology - HTML/CSS/JS/Browser APIs

  • Regularly solving complex UI, web app, and layout problems

  • Animation/game development via web technology - CSS, vanilla JS, three.js, whatever you want to throw at me if it’s based in web technology, and probably even if it’s not, but haven’t had that opportunity yet

  • Depth in vanilla JavaScript and its ecosystem - I know how to write maintainable vanilla JavaScript, taking full advantage of features unique or mostly unique to JS. I am of course very familiar with node.js, webpack, most of the popular frameworks, TS, and plenty of experience with legacy libs like jQuery.

  • Broad back end knowledge - I have plenty of exposure Java, C#, Python, Rails, PHP and many of the frameworks/CMSes/solutions built around those technologies

  • Databases - I’m very comfortable working in SQL and JS-originating non-SQL db solutions

  • RegEx Literacy - Very helpful for text problems, scraping problems, tweaking URLs across multiple CMS databases for SEO problems, etc. It was like a hobby that turned into occasionally a golden hammer for just the right kind of nail.

  • Picking up new stuff as I go - I’m long past that point in my career where I have any trepidation about jumping into a new language, framework or library when required and have the resume to show for it.

  • Legacy Web Development - I’ve been on the front end since IE6 support was still a thing. If you have a legacy site that needs support, or an upgrade, I’m going to know all the old stuff like why somebody added zoom:1 all over a bunch of CSS classes or what the heck somebody was doing with ‘new function()’

  • Just the right amount of hubris - I’m very proud of the many occasions I’ve been able to offer solutions people were afraid to ask for. On big asks my answer is almost never “no,” at worst “Possible but likely more expensive than you’d like. What’s the business problem that needs to be solved?”
