About me
6+ years experienced, detail-oriented, self-taught full stack JavaScript developer with a keen eye for UX design and a knack for flame graphs. Presented talks on async Javascript, GraphQL, and serverless architecture at a local meetup. Attended Node+JS Interactive in 2015, 2017, and 2019.
Technical skills
- Node.js is my bread and butter, from building apps, to webpack, and stopping by Lerna
- Highly proficient with React, using plain JavaScript, TypeScript, and Flow
- Well versed in CSS, dabbled with CSS-in-JS using Emotion, with a preference for CSS Modules
- Tinkered with Symfony 2 in a somewhat distant past
Projects
Jirafe
Built from the ground up with React, Node.js, Redis, ZEIT Now, Google Cloud Datastore, Pub/Sub, Scheduler, and BigQuery.
- Originally built in a week-end
- Evolved to be entirely serverless, composed of dozens of services
- Usability and performance before features
- Wrote a lot of code for Stripe billing, many packages with Lerna (and recently removed it all in favor of simpler alternatives)
- Bought Tailwind UI on release day, with the goal of giving a a fresh cost of paint to the landing page and dashboard!
Canados
Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind.
- Needed a side-project to feed my creativity
- Browsed Open Data for large datasets and stumbled upon tornados (ended up adding U.S. data because they get a lot more)
- Everything is computed client-side and has to be fast on my sub-200$ moto g7 play
- Can dynamically generate a heatmap nearly identical to the Tornado Alley heatmap published by FEMA
express-restify-mongoose
Built in plain old JavaScript
- Haven't had much time and resources to work on it in the last few years but still a project I'm proud of!
- Contributed early in the project's life and grew it from ~100 stars or so to over 500
- Wrote and maintained the documentation website from scratch
