I've written scripts in nodejs but I've mostly worked with express with it. The first time I had to use Express, I used an isomorphic JS architecture where I wrote vanilla functional Javascript with no specific framework on the client-side. Tests were written in chai syntax and ran with mocha. It was my first time using web pack on the server-side. I handled a decent authentication with passport which verified by interacting with a remote PHP API. I've been on the #express FreeNode channel ever since and I try to offer help where I can. In my second experience with express I'm simply just creating a single global route to capture all the pushState routes by a client-side React app consuming APIs from another Express server-side

I've built monolith ruby on rails application mostly for the past 3 years. I've had a range of experience from building e-commerce, to building ERPs, to creating a job board. I also refactored legacy codebases in rails, rewrote entire codebase and carefully maintained users data. Was quite challenging but I got through it. I've done some side projects in Sinatra which gave me a good understanding of rack

I've written structured prototypal JavaScript libraries within company projects I've worked with, used jQuery effectively when I had to use it. I've recently been working with React and adopting all its best practices. I also write properly tested JavaScript code

In the past 5 years I've dealt with the nuances of CSS and helped people on #css with CSS problems when I can. Recently my CSS help have been more focused on the CodeNewbie (codenewbie.org) #css channel. I've used Sass since 2014 when I relished its .Sass syntax till I gradually moved to Sass3 with the majority of the community as the SCSS syntax seemed deem for working effectively with teams especially for people who are new to preprocessors. I've been picking up on my web animation and aim to be really great at hit by the second quarter of the year. I put up some of my experiments on Codepen (https://codepen.io/bl4ckdu5t)

I write acceptance tests from business standups, converting business needs to implemented features. I make combinatorial optimization on existing implementations and write security test to keep application secure from code lags and human manipulation. For great usability, I try to achieve 100% test coverage to ensure things work for users as expected. I also go through a careful design prototyping stage which end up being tested by actual users for design improvements and accessibility improvements
