Abstract

Hey there, I’m a full stack web developer with experience in all facets of a products life cycle. I’m extremely hard working, motivated and curious. I completed a Science degree while cutting my programming teeth freelancing., and upon graduating I worked as a web developer at an e-commerce agency with big clients, quickly moving up to frontend team lead. My professional leanings are toward JavaScript because it generally meets business requirements most effectively, in my own time I prefer Python. I am confident building websites, API only applications and SPA’s.

Skills & Abilities

Between almost 10 years of web development experience and a science degree I’ve been exposed to all forms of technical tasks. Tasks like data analysis, SPA/API app development, web development, branding, marketing, web analytics and user experience design.

I am confident with every aspect of web development from requirements gathering to task completion, working closely with stake holders and managing members of my team.

I have touched on numerous technologies, including but not limited to:

Backend / Frontend
-PHP with:
  • Laravel
  • WordPress
  • Magento (1 & 2)
-Python
  • Django
  • Flash
  • Jekyll
-Ruby with Rails
-NodeJS with Express / -Old libraries
  • jQuery
  • Backbone
  • Knockout
-Lodash (prefer lodash/fp)
-Frameworks
  • Angular (the old one)
  • React
  • Vue
  • CycleJS

Ideally, I prefer to work with newer technologies on the frontend to keep up with a quickly changing world. Work is not done in a bubble however and I understand the need to balance bleeding edgeand stable solutions to meet business goals effectively.

Within the frontend world I am framework agnostic, however I prefer CycleJS for frontend development in general. Cycle is most closely related to React in the major frontend frameworks

I am happy to complete a code test using any of the frameworks / libraries above.
