ABOUT ME

I am a Passionate learner with an extensive programming background. I love JavaScript, but more than anything else, I love solving problems and building beautiful software.

I am a senior software engineer at Walmart Labs in Bentonville, AR specializing in React/Typescript. Our current project is a Cordova driven web app that gets compiled down into an APK and launched to Distribution Centers to be used on a TC70X Android device. If our application doesn't work, associates can't do their job! The stakes are high, but as long as our tests are written well, our lives are easy :)

I have a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University - Idaho in Software Engineering. I loved my time there, and made valuable connections. My time there instilled in me a desire to reach out and help others in need.

I have over 6 years of programming experience, specializing in JavaScript/Typescript and most recently React. Typescript is my love, and makes programming on the web so much nicer than it used to be. I am passionate about learning, and I remember the hurdles I had to overcome in order to get where I am today. I want to help you make the progress you deserve, and help you feel confident in your ability to solve complex problems.

It's been there from the beginning for me. There hasn't been a career opportunity so far that hasn't involved JavaScript. I've seen JavaScript grow from a quirky scripting language to an enterprise ready language with additions like TypeScript.

As a web developer, no matter where I've worked there is HTML and CSS to be tweaked. I have extensive experience writing semantic HTML, and styling beautiful pixel perfect websites. Being able to see your code changes in an instant visual way can be very satisfying.

This has been my most recent experience. Having specialized in Angular in the past, coming to React was a breath of fresh air. React has given me the freedom to architect creatively, and iterate on product design quickly. We are currently using React/Material-UI/Redux to build out our enterprise receiving application. Our goal from the beginning is to make an application that can be akin to building with Legos. With an ever changing set of business requirements, React has proven to be the best fit so far.
