ABOUT ME
React/TypeScript engineer with 10+ years experience (david@objective.enterprises)
React/TypeScript engineer with 10+ years experience (david@objective.enterprises)

Reach out anytime at david@objective.enterprises

I am a React and TypeScript engineer with over 10 years experience. I have extensive background with tools like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, NextJS, ExpressJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Google Firebase. My specialties are absolute beginners, small businesses, and aspiring engineers. I have guided hundreds of students into their first development job. I provide full support to development job-seekers, from mock interviews to career coaching. I can help you fix bugs quickly and fully understand each part of the solution.

I offer tutoring services including, bootcamp support, long-term mentoring, and a complete educational experience. I have directed teaching programs and led classroom instruction in fullstack development, professional strategies, and game development. I also started without a formal background in computer science. I know you can cross that gap in an engaging, accessible, and fun way.

Everyone that wants to make great software should be able to. I can help you learn to make apps with the features you want and explain exactly how they work. If you want to become a professional software engineer or entrepreneur and are eager to gain the necessary knowledge, I would be honored to help you improve your understanding, code, or career.

I can help you assemble and manage a team of developers or coach you through an individual project. I offer pair-programming, consulting, and architectural planning alongside direct management and training. I can help key contributors or entire teams deliver features and understand how their solutions work. I can guide decision makers through complicated technical challenges to confidently determine the best course of action.
