ABOUT ME
Experienced full-stack developer. I see code as an art form.
Experienced full-stack developer. I see code as an art form.
"Whoever travels without a guide needs 200 years for a two-day journey."
Whether you're just starting out on the journey to becoming a great coder, or whether you're somewhere in the middle and you just got stuck, don't let it hold you back longer than necessary.
I have over 8 years of experience with multiple software stacks. I started on Java with Spring Framework, then switched to Ruby on Rails. These days I work mostly with Node.js and CoffeeScript. I've worked with 4-person startups, billion dollar companies and everything in between.
My goal is to get your issue resolved as quickly as possible, and give you all the tools and knowledge necessary to understand why you had this issue, and how to prevent it going forward.

JavaScript, the most misunderstood programming language on the planet. I, too, used to misunderstand it, until about two years ago. Since then I've managed to forget everything I thought I knew and re-learn it from scratch. Now I've been programming it full time for over a year and I couldn't be happier that I've made that investment. It definitely paid off.

I fell in love with Ruby some time around 2008. Got a job developing Rails, and loved it for a long time until things started getting kinda messy in Ruby-land. That's when I escaped to Node.js. Until then, I maintained and developed a Rails app that was used by around 100k monthly users.
I am currently a mentor for a Ruby on Rails online bootcamp.

Git is my homeboy. Since switching from Subversion back in 2011, I quickly learned everything I could about it, from the the simplest merge over cherry-pick and bisect all the way to tricky rebases. I'd say I'm fairly advanced these days.

Technically, I first learned HTML some time back in high school. Professionally, I still have about 6 years experience building web apps using different toolkits, ExtJS, jQuery, jQuery UI, Ember.js, Bootstrap, and Meteor. Fair to say I'm pretty fluent with that.
