While I have coded JavaScript since I began programming in elementary school, my years of true JavaScript experience began at Amazon on the Echo companion app. There I learned modern JS form and style, creating a Backbone.js single page app that also served as a hybrid mobile app. Since then, I have moved on to co-develop Property Meld's single page app in React and es6 via babel, with gulp deployment tasks.

My HTML/CSS development began in earnest in university, where I was the Student Association webmaster. I developed and maintained the websites for the SA itself (including a browsable interface for official university survey results ranking teachers and courses), as well as clubs I was a part of (Rainbow Pride Union and The Binghamton Treblemakers) and clubs that didn't have their own webmaster. While in college, I also freelanced, primarily for non-profits including charity auctions, an online counseling site, and the Northeast LGBT conference. I also ran my own website to help students snipe their way in to registering for popular courses.

While Python is a recent skill I've been developing, it is my new favorite language (es6 comes in second)! I began by teaching myself Python as a backend language for a few small experimental sites, and I now use it every day when developing for my current startup, Property Meld.

My experience in Android is solid, but limited mostly to utility apps/xposed modules, hybrid apps, and testing native apps. I began Android development at Microsoft as an SDET testing the OneDrive (then SkyDrive) Android/iOS/Windows Phone apps, using a remote test driver based in C# that used shims to acquisition phsyical and simulated devices of each type and convert test commands to their native equivalents. Accessibility and internationalization were heavy testing priorities, due to the global usage of the service. I also single-handedly built the server that maintained and custom-flashed physical Android devices for testing, as well as a companion app to encourage dogfooding and both manual and automated testing among team members, to reach a much wider device spec matrix. At Amazon Echo I was a primary developer of the Android hybrid app, which ran on standard Android distributions from 2.3 to 4.4, including customizations for Samsung and HTC point-to-point wifi configurations, and Single-Sign On integration on all Fire OS devices (Kindle Fire and Fire Phone.) These days I mostly tinker with Android development on my own time. I am maintaining a Fire TV xposed module that bridges commands from the Fire TV remote to my LG TV over ethernet and HDMI.

Java was my first truly object oriented language, which I learned in high school and used heavily throughout university. I've done Java programming for websites (frontend applets and backend Spring) at S&P and Amazon, as well as desktop programming, Android apps, and embedded (LeJOS.)

My C# experience is somewhat limited to my time at Microsoft, where I maintained a C# test framework for mobile devices (Android, iOS and Windows Phone), as well as a C# server to maintain a pool of physical Android test devices, and a C# desktop app with GUI for dogfooding and testing the SkyDrive app on personal devices.

My experience with C is primarily from college - TAing C/++ courses for electrical engineering students, as well as some time testing the SkyDrive desktop app at Microsoft using mock injection.
