ABOUT ME

JavaScipt/Node.js Developer

I'm experienced in both frontend and full-stack development with a variety of technologies, but I prefer working on the frontend with JavaScript. In addition to working at Genesys, a large technology company, I do freelance work for a few clients in my free time.

I started learning to build websites in middle school in the late 90s and early 00s. I still remember my most popular website, a website with nothing but a large number of gifs I had collected from across the internet. I was getting a whopping 500 visitors a month, which seemed amazing at the time. I taught myself PHP and MySQL in high school when I was limited in what classes I was able to take and then proceeded on to get a Computer Science degree in college. I have been working professionally in web application development ever since.

I use React the most in my freelance work, building the UI for applications with React and a few additional libraries. I'm still new to working with React but have been rapidly picking it up and thoroughly enjoying it.

I've been using git every since I got out of school. I had previously used SVN and git is a massive improvement. I have used git both in a solo dev environment and as part of a large team. I have a good grasp of the git command line and have always been the go-to person on the team when someone needs some git help or has run into an odd situation.

I have been using AWS for a few years now to build microservice based applications. I do not have any of their certifications yet, but am studying to take the developer associate exam. I have experience with building EC2 machines, working with DynamoDB and RDS for databases, using S3 for storage and static-site hosting. I've also built my fair share of CloudFormation templates.
