ABOUT ME

Full Stack Developer

My name is Josiah and I have been a full stack web developer at my job in Indiana for 2.5 years.

During that time I have used backend technologies such as PHP, Node.js, Python and minimal C#. As well as relational database systems such as MySQL, PostGreSQL and MSSQL. And client-side technologies such as JavaScript (including frameworks such as jQuery, jQuery UI, MooTools, Moment.js etc), CSS and HTML. I have a very strong passion for linux -which has been my primary operating system for 8 years- and am more than comfortable using command line interfaces or configuring new systems/servers remotely.

I am self-taught with no formal schooling and therefore understand some of the complications a self-taught upcoming programmer will go through.
I can also deal with more complex issues well above the level of a newcomer.

I have experience using JavaScript for things from slideshows and interactive advertising to page manipulation using data fetched via XHR. I have a strong passion for JavaScript and have experience with cross-browser compatibility issues but would prefer not to deal with them.

I have designed and implemented backend services and RESTful APIs for various applications using PHP. I have also been responsible for the front-end of most services as well so I understand how everything goes together and where potential and common problems often arise.

While I don't prefer jQuery, it has many uses and is much more intuitive than a lot of vanilla JS. I am confident I can solve most jQuery problems because I understand the JavaScript it is arbitrating.

8 years ago I stopped using Windows for the sake of security and have used Linux as my main operating system ever since. I am more than happy to spend the whole day in terminal, but sometimes the GUI is easier to use. I have plenty of experience configuring / setting up remote installations via SSH. With experience in user, developer and server flavors of linux.

I have written many different BASH scripts, some of which are still run every morning at 3am and 4:15am for previous clients automation needs. I have written scripts that interacted with fileservers (maintenance), databases (automated corrections/maintenance), web servers (uploads and manual statistic generation) and more.

I have a lot of experience setting up and maintaining Linux and OSX based servers (no Win Server experience). Whatever it is that needs setup I can get done. It's just a matter of understanding how everything works together in a server environment as well as your host OS.
