ABOUT ME

Javascript enthusiast with a taste for all new web technologies.

I have been programming on various web and cross platform stacks for 6 years. I love making things. I am more invested in an idea/concept than the tech stack that realizes. I'm flexible enough to try out any language/toolset to build something the right way.

I love open source communities and shiny new web technologies.

It's one of my favorite languages. I can't imagine how hard grasping the concept of programming would have been if easier languages like js didn't exist. I have been working with js since the beginning of my career in web development.

I LOVE this shiny piece of web technology. Node.js has changed my view towards js and changed how I write js code. I love how easy it makes to build out quick prototypes and realtime web apps. Also, it's really amazing how much crazy frankenstein stuff people are building out with node.js in the huge community of the developers.

Foysal was great to work with and did a nice job of explaining things along the way. I had existing APIs and vanilla JavaScript and he was able to convert to react native and get working in very short order. He had a great understanding of the product and proactively recommended UI/features as we went through the session.
