Charles F. Munat

Perfecting human learning. Research into learning methodologies for the new millennium. I test hypotheses by regularly providing free training and coaching to new developers/testers. Development of learning methodologies and curricula; training; mentoring; coaching; and public speaking. Consulting on talent acquisition/retention, training, team building, and career development, as well as reduction of cognitive footprint. Most recent projects: * HAT Teams, a year-long experiment in just-in-time training using the Paperhat methodology: four dev teams of volunteer junior devs and testers to architect and build serverless applications for charity and open source projects (legalcheckup.org.nz) while learning front-end development and testing with JavaScript, React, and Cypress. * hanalytics.ltd, a serverless, Svelte/Sapper static site built on AWS using Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudFront, Route 53, and Simple Email Service. Mobile-first, highly accessible, user-friendly, with full SEO. In progress: a screening application for new hires following the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Seasoned programmer, web developer, software architect, engineering coach, and consultant for hire for bespoke work on a contract basis. Permanent positions also considered. I have reached the point in my career where I do what interests and challenges me. Currently, I focus on functional programming in JavaScript with React (or Svelte) and GraphQL or equivalent on the client side, and numerous server-side technologies and databases including AWS. When I teach programming, this is what I teach.

* Mentoring of students both short and long term for JavaScript, React, Ruby, Rails, HTML, CSS, node.js, Webpack, ES6/7, and more, all remotely. * Long-term mentoring of a young woman in Nigeria who is now a successful senior developer in Canada. (This was through Andela, but I was subcontracted from Codementor.) * Wrote and taught their first online React course.
