A Modern Javascript Engineer

Hey my name is Ace aka Anthony Elam. I'm addicted to learning, understanding & mastering software engineering. I continue to search for new, exciting & challenging problems to solve. Over the years I've stored my accumulation of software engineering knowledge in Confluence. Check it out here https://elaminc.atlassian.net/wiki/x/F4. Please use the following creds

In my 5 years’ of experience as a software engineer I’ve learned that it is important to be able to learn or ramp up quickly on new tech. This happens to be the one thing that remained consistent for me after working on several large multi-million & multi-billion dollar projects as well as some smaller projects. Resources such as Stackoverflow, Google and others make learning possible but, in my opinion, fall short of connecting key concepts for aspiring engineers. With new tech sometimes there’s often very little or no documentation at all to help guide you. This is why I wish to make myself available as a Mentor and really appreciate the approach this company is taking to help solve this problem. I want to pass on the help, patience, encouragement and knowledge that I recieved from the Mentors here at codementor that helped me succeed.

Be sure to visit often to checkout my POSTS. I'd like to take anyone willing to go, on a journey as I Examine, Investigate, Explore & Disect the following technologies: Javascript(includes all libraries & frameworks), Typescript, RxJs, RxKotlin, RxSwift, Swift, Kotlin. Using a BDD(Behavior Driven Development) test approach I hope to fully understand and master these technologies. Each of the technologies listed above attempts to solve a problem or series of problems. Examining these problems and exploring or measuring how well each listed tech does is my focus. Areas of focus includes but are not limited to the following: - how well it handles asynchronous activity/events - performance - scalability just to name a few. I will document my findings here via POSTS. All POSTS will include links to the github repositories & code pens that I create so that you can run and test code on your end. I will also include links to all the tools, sources, resources that I use and why. I love this stuff! I will update my profile here over time but feel free to visit my linkedIn page to learn more about me, work experience, etc.

Thanks for visiting
Happy coding!

I began to seriously study Computing,Hardware/Software,Networking,Systems Security, & Programming in 1998 when i joined the Military. In the Navy, in the Information Systems Tech field, I learned the following : -designing, installing, operating and maintaining state-of-the-art information systems technology including local and wide area networks, mainframe, mini and microcomputer systems and associated peripheral devices; -writing programs to handle the collection, manipulation and distribution of data for a wide variety of applications and requirements; -performing the functions of a computer system analyst; -operating and coordinating telecommunications systems including automated networks and the full spectrum of data links and circuits; -transmitting, receiving, operating, monitoring, controlling and processing all forms of telecommunications through various transmission media including global networks; -applying diagnostic, corrective and recovery techniques to all facets of the integrated information systems; -maintaining all necessary logs, files and publications at the communications center; -providing telecommunications and computer-related training and assistance to a wide variety of personnel. Since then I've continued my studies and research of various IT and Technical Topics. e.g. (List is below Conclusion)(list is not all inclusive) In conclusion, I consider myself to be very creative, thinking outside the box for solutions to IT & Technical challenges. I'm relentless when determining the cause of an IT/Technical problem and performing research passionately to find a solution or multiple solutions. Having access to databases containing 1,000's of authoritative IT/Technical books, help systems, & more, I can efficiently and effectively conduct research and provide consulting for both new and old technologies. I look forward to working with those who are in need of my services. Working together I believe we can accomplish much.
