I've built multiple distributed applications inside of Docker containers, and have trained thousands of other developers on how to get up and running with Docker from a developer's perspective.

I regularly use RabbitMQ to facilitate microservices and disparate systems communication in a primarily Node.js environment. I've written 2 of the most popular RabbitMQ ebooks, produced screencasts that have taught thousands of developers, and contributed significant code to the RabbitMQ in Node.js space.

I've been using Git since 2009 and have taught countless other developers how to work with it in team environments, using it to deploy code, and more

all my applications are built with grunt - automating every task possible, including testing, linting, minifying, pre-compiling and more.

I've been using vim for about 8 years, and work with it daily. want to get up to speed or build some plugins? I can help

Express.js is still my go-to framework for building web servers quickly, that scale easily

I'm competent with React, having helped build a few applications for a major media conglomerate that heavily used React, Redux and many custom components to create a highly interactive netflix-like system with full administrative back-end, user front-end, etc.

I've been building web sites since the mid 90's and have kept up with the invention and popularization of CSS through the years. I have a strong functional knowledge of CSS and am consistently able to find solutions to very complex styling issues.

I created Marionette.js from my extensive consulting work in Backbone.js, and was the primary author / maintainer of it and the community for 4+ years before turning it over to a community led group of developers for further maintenance and enhancement.
