ABOUT ME
The best products come from innovation through healthy, non-competitive, and agile collaborations.
The best products come from innovation through healthy, non-competitive, and agile collaborations.
For the majority of my career (over 15 years), I have focused on enterprise level applications primarily working with Microsoft tools & technologies. I've been working with Node.js, Angular.js, and other similar frameworks. In particular, I have been working with the MEAN Stack (https://github.com/meanjs/mean), and have become a main contributor to the project.
Software development problems are not too different but the infinite ways they can be resolved through new innovative methods inspires me. As a consequence, I have abundant experience in learning new technologies quickly. I'm very detail oriented, and have always had the ability to look at a project from bird's eye view and calculate how any change will affect the project as a whole. This comes in very handy when feature planning.

I've been familiar with JavaScript since I was in high school; over 20 years ago. With the ever changing feature sets in JavaScript, it takes effort to stay on top of them & to know when/where to apply things like ES6 features such as classes, arrow functions, and asycn/await methods. I find it very exciting and interesting to try out the newest versions of JavaScript, and even TypeScript.

I have extensive experience with building front-end applications with AngularJS. I write clean, organized, and re-usable Angular javascript. Most of my AngularJS applications are built using the principles and guidelines outlined in a very popular style-guide.

I solely use Git for all my source control needs. I've used many source control solutions/tools. IMHO, Git is the best technology around for version control, and keeping my projects well organized.
I have encountered most complex issues that arise with using Git, and am confident in my ability to solve even the most complicated merge-conflicts. I'm a huge proponent of using Git Flow branching strategies.

I've been building MEAN stack applications for over 4 years. More specifically, I have been working with the MEAN.js open-source framework that's hosted on GitHub; I'm also a main contributor to the project.
More than likely, I am one of the most experienced developers with MEAN.js. This experience also translates to expert knowledge of each technology used within the framework. I have built many prototype/start-up applications using MEAN.js, and I'm constantly helping to improve the framework.

Really great session with Michael. A lot of good communication before session. Starting out, we explored what I was trying to do, and when we hit a little wall, Michael was willing to suspend the session until we got back on track. Then he methodically led me to the right solution. Really like the approach, and will make it my 'leading practice' for testing.
