I've regularly written HTML and CSS since I was 11 years old, and have kept up-to-date with the W3C standards over the years. Currently, I usually write HTML as part of a React component, but have also used vanilla HTML for email templates, or as part of a Cordova app.

I built my first iOS application in 2008, a simple game for the iPhone that involved catching falling balls with slidable tubes, just to learn Objective-C. In 2010, I built a simple note taking app for the iPad that skyrocketed to the top of the app store for the 3 years I grew it before selling. I have consulted on and off for Objective-C/iOS development in the past few years, most recently for Branch Deeplinks.

I never really liked RoR, mostly because of Ruby. Having grown up on C-like languages, the abbreviated syntax made no sense to me. Once I built a weekend project on Node.JS, I was sold. I've always loved vanilla JavaScript - minus obvious flaws like callback hell - so the idea of using one language that I knew well for my entire stack was mind blowing. I've since built one successful side project and my current startup with a Node backend.

I've used jQuery regularly essentially since it's popularity rose in the late 2000's. I think it's much less useful now, as JavaScript now has full front end frameworks that automatically keep elements in sync with data models, it can still be useful for small random tasks. Thus, I keep it in the bower file for most projects I build.

I've used git for all of my projects for 4 years, when I made the move from svn. I'm familiar with public contributing, managing a team of engineers on git, and integrating github with issue tracking platforms as part of a sprint strategy

I've built several side projects with Meteor - it's absolutely perfect for that. I still prefer building a full stack from React/Node for complete control, and because I prefer RethinkDB over Mongo. But Meteor is wonderful for bootstrapped apps. I built a freelancer search website over thanksgiving one year that made it to the front page of HackerNews. I deployed it to a $5 DigitalOcean droplet, and it handled 1000 simultaneous users without a hitch.

Incredible mentor. Scott was able to figure out the issue I was dealing with in a matter of minutes, and in an incredibly friendly and accessible way. I highly recommend Scott for troubleshooting and refactoring, and if you need any clarification on CS principles.
