I have a deep understanding of JavaScript at its core, and I have been using it both back- and front-end every day for the past 3 years. I use ES6 features daily, and always write full unit and integration test suites for my projects.

I have a solid understanding of HTML & CSS at their core. I've spent years working professionally on cross-platform sites and optimizing the performance of animations and page load speeds.

I've been using Node.js almost exclusively for the past 4 years. I'm well-versed in the entire build pipeline, from testing to compiling to deploying. I believe that browserify has revolutionized the way we develop web apps by providing an isomorphic solution and I have since dedicated my working hours to master this technology. I'm also very experienced with API design and documentation as one of my largest roles has been to design and implement public-facing APIs for large-scale Dev to Dev products.

I'm a strong proponent of Git as the code management tool of choice. I squash, rebase, merge almost every day and keep a very clean and manageable commit history as well as branch tree.
