ABOUT ME
Traceur, Violinist, Climber, Stack Agnostic Full Stack Web Developer.
Traceur, Violinist, Climber, Stack Agnostic Full Stack Web Developer.
Programming language polyglot. Developer generalist. Interested in new technologies and collaborating.
I've been told that I seem to optimize my life for learning. I'm very enthusiastic software developer that is trying to learn as many technologies that I can. I'm always up for a good code debate and understand that there is always a better way.
I'm interested in building products for people. I haven't seen many things more exciting than watching someone seeing that their dream coming to life.

I am a very big fan of component oriented data models (React, VueJS, Elm, ReasonReact). They seem to enable collaboration and modularization of the frontend.
React - Created and tested react components in architecture with millions of daily users. Created design patterns and practices. React was server-side rendered via nodejs.
Redux - Used redux as data model informing React components.
GraphQL - GraphQL data via Apollo was given react components.

I've worked professionally in javascript and javascript-like (ReasonML, typescript, clojurescript, Elm) environments. I know where they shine and where they come short. I'm always on the hunt comparing and evaluating other frontend languages.

Created and maintained an elixir GraphQL API (using Absinthe) for archictecture with millions of daily users. Implemented product features and created higher level design patterns.
Elixir is one of the best server api architectures ATM. It mixes the concurrency of Elixir with the community of Ruby. The only thing that would make it better is if it had proper typing. I've been researching possible opportunities (library witchcraft/algae, Language pony)

Greg was awesome! Many thanks my man. I appreciated your attention to detail and your overall method of allowing me to make some mistakes and painlessly pointing them out. I'll definitely look you up again when the need arises - which i'm guessing might be soon. Bravo! to you.

Coached me and counseled with great advice and suggestions as a new developer entering in the world of code. As with any good developer know , broken code will keep you up at night and Greg made sure he went the distance to help get me the understanding I need to move forward in my web application. I high recommend Greg to assist you in your developer journey.

Greg has an excellent way of explaining basic concepts as well as talking about potential gotchas. Given my experience was with PHP, he was able to discuss the same concept in another language so I can understand it. Excellent.
