I've worked exclusively with full-stack Javascript / TypesScript for the past seven years, and TypeScript for the past 3 years. Recently, I've primarily worked with NodeJS on AWS serverless infrastructure (using Lambda) and the latest version of Angular on the frontend. I aim to write clean, easily readable and maintainable code, with a pragmatic level of code-coverage. I am able to get up and running quickly, and maintain a high level of productivity, due to my long experience of effective JavaScript patterns. I'm familiar with the latest JavaScript features and with key tools like the Angular CLI, nx, protractor, jest, karma, and webpack.

I've used Node.js extensively, initially with container-based express apps and more recently using a serverless-first approach, using a range of AWS services including Lambdas, API Gateway, Step Functions, S3, SNS and others.

I've used AWS for the past five years, initially EC2 and containers together with S3, SNS, SQS etc, and recently with an increasing focus on serverless-first architecture, using Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway etc. I exclusively provision AWS resources using CloudFormation / AWS SAM (infrastructure as code), and have written an nx plugin that wraps the AWS CLI and webpack to make deploying serverless applications significantly easier.

As I've primarily worked in small teams, I've had to take on dev-ops as well as development. I've embraced infrastructure as code, and am very familiar with AWS CloudFormation. I'm familiar with key tools like Webpack, and have set up CI/CD on all my projects, primarily using CircleCI.
