In 2008 I swapped my C# and .Net IDE and Windows box for a Mac and Ruby. Up until a year or two ago 90% of the software I wrote was in Ruby, spanning from sorting 1000s of atmospheric, seismic, solar, and wildlife reporting data from stations around the world to solar panel efficiency algorithms to countless e-commerce websites. Until I got re-hooked on JavaScript (Thanks React!) it's pretty much all I did. I know MRI inside and out and spent a long time perfecting my Ruby Fu, extending into Functional Programming, test driven development, and so much more!

I have been coding in JavaScript since 1998, In the last few years it has regained my love (hey, I lived through the browser-wars) thanks to React and Redux which are my new peanut butter and jelly! The new toolsets of Webpack and Gulp and of course es6, made Node worth it all you could say. Let me help you untangle your async madness!

My god... 20 years. I was playing Warcraft and throwing down <blink> tags from a cyber-cafe....... When I am not coding my primary language, it is usually because I am writing HTML/CSS.

Chat servers, bots, backends, database managers.... Node can help you with all of that, and I can as well, having spent enough yeas writing JavaScript that my experience could now vote......

I wrote jQuery for years and years until React came along. Now I never use it, but I still know how to do just about anything in it.

Relational databases like MySQL and Postgresql where my bread and butter for many years. I think relationally quite easily.

I have been setting up slices for many years when Heroku failed me, something it tends to do after your site grows to a certain level. I can help you set up permissions, servers, and the like, no problem!

Been using git forever. I can show you how to use less commands, and use git in a much more efficient way, with clean trees all the way to the horizon. Or I can help you get 'unfucked' when something goes horribly wrong. Reflow is a wonderful thing!

I was writing coffeescript back when it was introduced to Rails almost 10 years ago. It was our es6 before we had es6!

I have taken several sites to top 10 land, and a few to #1 consistently. I have never been panda'd!

Eventually sites grow beyond heroku, and usually, they grow into AWS serviced based platforms. I can help you with that!
