This is my bread and butter. I know front end tech better than I know myself. The problem is when you are starting out with front end development it can seem like there are so many things you need to know. Especially in this day and age with so many tools wanting your attention. That's when it helps to have someone like me in your corner. Whether it's understanding how to develop a static website to building a realtime, large scale web application I can offer my knowledge across a huge range of topics to help your project succeed.

I have 6 years of experience in web development and have developed very strong Javascript skills over my career. I am primarily a UI specialists but also have many years experience with node.js. I have experience build large scale front end systems and am very confident with all things Javascript.

There's a reason why React is so popular right now. Having used it extensively, I can say that this UI tool is one of the best you can have in your toolbox. The community for this tech is strong, but sometimes it's still hard to wrap your head around problems you encounter in the real world. What's the difference between props and state? How can I get better at thinking in "components"? What techniques make the most sense in a larger application? I can help expand your knowledge so you'll be creating beautiful UI's in no time.

I personally love Redux to the moon and back. It is so easy to forget how difficult application state management was before Redux, and having knowledge of this simple tool made app development so much more enjoyable to me. But just like everything else, there are things I've learned through my good (and sometimes horribly frustrating) expereinces with it that can save huge headaches. I know how to build large realworld applications with Redux and am happy to share that knowledge with you.

Don't be fooled. HTML and CSS are such an important cornerstone in web development that I spent nearly a year focusing solely on these two to make sure I knew them in and out. They truly are one of those special things in the world that are easy to learn, but difficult to master. With so many little "gotchas" it's easy to get frustrated. Throw some more complexity in like a CSS preprocessor such as SASS or LESS and your head will start spinning. But with my help, you can keep your cool and use these to make your project shine.

Angular is one of the most popular and complete front end frameworks in existence. It really is an all in one package, but with that comes a lot of conventions and developing things in "the angular way". I've learned a lot of them through my time using this framework and can help share my findings with you.
