ABOUT ME

Head of Engineering @ Whitehat

Hi there!

I'm Sam Davies, Head of Engineering at Whitehat. I've been working as a professional software developer and coach for 8 years.

I believe software development can be one of the most rewarding and well-paid jobs out there, and over the course of my career I've helped hundreds of people learn to code and land their first job in software.

I joined CodeMentor so I could share the benefit of my experience and help you to shortcut your path to success and get that first software developer job as quickly as possible.

I've been working with JavaScript since 2012. From basic sprinklings on top of Rails apps to full blown client-side applications powered by React and Redux, I've seen just about everything. Also have worked with Flow and Typescript.

Ruby on Rails

6 years experience

Ruby was my first love and I've worked with it for many years. I'm a Rails core contributor and know both Ruby and Rails inside and out.

HTML/CSS

7 years experience

I've been a full stack web developer for 7 years. Can't develop on the web without knowing HTML/CSS! It's a given.

4 years experience

Elixir is a wonderful choice of language for any web project. It's where I spent most of my day to day work these days, purely because I love it so much. I'm an Elixir core contributor and maintain a popular open source library written in Elixir called Rihanna. I also have plenty of experience with Phoenix, the premier web framework for Elixir.

I'm relatively new to Elm, but it's a simple language and an absolute joy to work with. I chose this technology for building client-side applications where I work, because of it's fast development speed and no runtime errors (!). I would love to help anyone who is working with this amazing technology.

SQL

6 years experience

I know just about everything there is to know about SQL, with a particular focus on Postgres.

React

3 years experience

I've worked with large scale React apps, with and without Redux.
