ABOUT ME

11 years of professional software engineering experience

I have experience as both a front-end developer and a full-stack developer. I've also worked as a technical team lead, and a software engineering manager. My areas that I currently focus on teaching for are React, DevOps, Cypress, and Spring Boot.

Have also done a few thousand hours of tutoring over the past 11 years, mostly for software development.

I'm conscious of keeping people from feeling overwhelmed or lost.

I meet you where you are in your current skill level. When we work together, the learning is enjoyable and empowering.

Framework experience includes production environment experience with React, AngularJS, and Angular (2+). Worked professionally with TypeScript for years, and taught it for years. These days, my main focus framework-wise is React, including the entire ecosystem, such as Redux, Redux Toolkit, Action Creators, and Middlewares - including Thunk. I'm very comfortable with jQuery. I am quite comfortable with core JavaScript, the DOM API, functional programming in JavaScript, prototypal inheritance, lexical context, lexical scoping, the event loop, and other fundamental topics. In terms of tooling, I have professional experience with the Chrome devtools, React and Redux devtools, npm/yarn, Webpack, Grunt, and Fiddler, among others.

Have 5 years of experience software development using Java. My experience in Java is 3 years as a full-time developer at enterprise-level companies, and 2 years teaching Java. The Java ecosystem tools that I've used include Spring Boot (Spring Data JPA and MongoDB, Spring Security, Spring Web, Spring Batch, Spring integration testing, etc), JEE (Wildfly), JUnit, and Maven. I've successfully worked on many features that have shipped to customers in production.

Very comfortable with writing SQL from scratch, including complex joins, DDL, and query optimization. I have full-time production-environment experience with SQL, both writing raw SQL and through the use of an ORM. I have also done extensive SQL work in personal side projects, and in a non-development IT position I held before my first full-time development role. In terms of specifics, I have experience with subqueries, many-table joins (including updates on joins), aggregation functions, grouping, sorting, indexes, constraints (named, foreign keys, composite unique keys, etc.), indexing, connection strings, and views, among other areas.

Have extensive experience with application dockerization, as well as with local environment docker container orchestration. I am very comfortable with areas like Dockerfile creation/modification, the Docker CLI (docker exec, docker logs, etc.), Docker Compose, and the benefits that containerization provides (for example, immutable infastructure and a lightweight environment on Unix-like systems). I am particularly comfortable with helping to Dockerize and troubleshoot local Docker environments (cross-container dependencies, remote debugging from containers, etc.).
