ABOUT ME
Full Stack Developer
Full Stack Developer

I am a full stack web developer with over a decade of experience across numerous platforms. Teaching genuinely excites me, and I am very patient with people of all skill levels. I can help you to learn and wield javascript on the client and server side with all the technologies that go along like HTML, CSS, and Various Database technologies. I love to explore the hows and whys of coding and will never present my students with empty explanations - I am not afraid to tell you "I don't know", and always excited to tell you "let's find out"

** I am currently specializing in getting new developers up and running with javascript and web technologies. ** 6 years ago I tore down everything I knew about javascript, which turned out to be not much - and rebuilt it from the ground up with help from visionaries like Douglas Crockford. Since then I have not stopped learning new ways to use this flexible and remarkable little language.

I have always been a web developer with a penchant for design, so CSS is something I spend a lot of time with. CSS can be extremely frustrating if the foundations are assumed rather than learned properly, and modern CSS frameworks can gloss over concepts so they feel more like magic than approachable solutions. I can help you cut through the muck and learn to love, or at least tolerate this quirky but immensely useful language.

I use node regularly to write back end code and command line utilities. I can bring you up to speed with express js and give you a strong foundation in server side code. Node is also my prefered environment for tinkering and prototyping library / utility code, and great for learning (or teaching) the fundamentals of javascript.

I have worked as a web developer for over a decade and have seen UI design trends, philosophies and frameworks come and go. I can help you learn current techniques and understand the challenges unique to web application design, whether you want to roll your own look and feel or get the most out of a framework like bootstrap

I work in react everyday, though I tend to stick with the newest parts of the framework. If you are looking to learn hooks, or if you are excited by the prospect of using pure, functional components everywhere in your application, we should talk!
