I have expert knowledge of JavaScript, TypeScript, React, HTML5 & CSS3. I have specialized in JavaScript over the last decade, and my accomplishments run the gamut from flashy portfolio sites to robust single-page applications using current best practices for front-end development. I have extensive experience developing for Ruby on Rails, Node.js with Express & Next.js. I have worked with databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL & MongoDB and have recently adopted Prisma as my JavaScript ORM of choice. I am adept at designing and consuming various styles of APIs, including REST & GraphQL. I am passionate about doing the best possible work, and I code using the most modern technologies available. I am a very strong communicator and can discuss requirements with technical or non-technical team members with equal facility. I pursue test-driven development and am especially fond of React Testing Library.
