ABOUT ME

Node.js expert day in and day out

Based in Minnesota, I've worked for large corporations as well as startups in Silicon Valley.

I have experience with a variety of languages and frameworks including both front-end and back-end.

Currently I eat, sleep, and dream in Node.js and often times with express.

Motto: I believe that there are many ways to solve a problem, and I strive to solve that problem in the shortest and simplest, yet readable and maintainable way possible.

Since jQuery was around version 1.3, I became fascinated with how easy it was to make web pages more animated. I've grown alongside jQuery and use it on almost every web page I've created for one reason or another.

JavaScript

I'm much more familiar with jQuery over raw JS, but since JS is the backbone of jQuery, I'm familiar with a lot of Javascripts workings.

He fixed the issue I was having and was helpful with refactoring the code moving forward as well. I would use again.

Tom was extremely helpful. He helped me solve both of my issues quickly and did a great job explaining to me what we were doing and why we where doing it. I really like that he did just try to do everything for me but was more interested in teaching me how to do it. Tom is a pro and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is stuck.
