Hiya, I'm Rocky. I love collaborating with other developers and designers who are serious about solving difficult problems. I'm an FP-oriented JavaScript developer with direct influences from Scala, Haskell, and Clojure. My passions lay in the lower-end of the spectrum, with particular emphasis on machine learning, natural language processing, expert systems, and other forms of artificial intelligence. I'm also a data science practitioner with a heavy background in both frequentist and bayesian statistics.

I've developed dozens of web apps, APIs, and backend services during my years developing with JavaScript. JavaScript is my core language, so ES6, transpilers, promises, FRP, CSP, functional programming, meta programming, and more are what I live and breathe each and every day. On the frontend, I focus on React and Flux.

I've helped launch several React/Flux based applications for VC funded startups and larger companies alike. I am also an open source contributor on the subject, for both committing to existing React/Flux projects and also creating new libraries.

One of the top 25 most influential Scala developers on GitHub (per https://github.com/floydsoft/the-most-influential-developers-on-github).
