ABOUT ME
JavaScript Expert
JavaScript Expert

I've been a web developer for about 15 years, focusing on front end development for the past 8. I love working with JavaScript and helping people navigate its trickier parts. During the day, I lead a team of front end developers and designers and mentor client teams on front end best practices.

Some of my past experiences include leading a front end development team at Travelocity, developing a flight search engine from scratch with Backbone, rebuilding DirecTV.com with Angular, and more. I also recently developed and taught a 10 week (60 class hours) class to introduce code-school students to JavaScript and React Application development.

I also enjoy blogging about front end development and design topics:

As a web application developer, I know HTML and CSS inside and out. I've worked with frameworks like bootstrap and foundation, but also massive custom code bases. Keeping CSS maintainable is always a challenge, but conventions like SMCSS and BEM help keep things sane. I'm excited about app layouts with Flexbox and the possibilities they open.

I helped re-write DirecTV.com from scratch using Angular. I personally wrote the guide which is the most heavily visited feature on the site - https://www.directv.com/guide. As a consultant I regularly do evaluations and presentations to client teams on how they can improve their Angular 1.x code patterns. I also wrote a blog post about how to use ES6 modules in Angular 1.x to make code more maintainable. http://www.levvel.io/blog-post/angular-with-es6-modules/

ExpressJS is my go-to web framework. Its relatively straight forward and I've always found it up to any challenge.

Assaf was very helpful in brainstorming. I have a couple of leads to follow offline. He's offered to keep looking at in on his side.

Assaf was a true wizard - professional, courteous, and most of all proficient and efficient; he delivered quite a bit in a very short period of time. This was my first time using this service, and Assaf reached out within minutes of me creating a request. He understood my request and challenges, and was able to design an approach that worked marvelously. We tested the result live and it worked like a charm! I could not have had a better first experience. Thanks a million Assaf!

Assaf quickly understood the issue that I had. Showed me how to debug it, solved it and then explained how it all worked. Could not be any happier!

Great mentor! There was a lot that was new to me and he helped me understand just the parts I needed to.

He knows what he's doing and I like him a lot. I hired him for a small task and he ended up writing the same thing I already had - this was after having a video call and giving written requirements on what needed to be done. That said, he was very gracious about the mistake and allowed me to pay him for what he did write that was useful.
