I've been a Redux early adopter, and have significantly contributed to the creation of Redux-saga and its increasing popularity. I've contributed to Redux, including proposing a total rewrite of connect() internals. Before Redux and Flux existed, I built my own framework based on functional programming techniques and inspired by Om (event-sourcing, immutable global state...) and was already achieving an early version of time-travelling debugging on my production ReactJS app long time before Redux (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxN8FYYBcrI) My framework (https://github.com/stample/atom-react) had flaws and when Redux came out I was finally happy that someone solves the problems I had in my own framework :)

Since 2012, I'm CTO of a startup using Scala. Since 2014 we are using ReactJS in production in a functional way. I'm used to functional concepts like: - Monads (Option/Either/List/Future/Free/IO...), Applicatives, Monoids... - EventSourcing and append-only databases - Immutability - Lenses - FRP - ... I've been playing with functional concepts since my early Java days with Guava. Now I'd like to continue using Scala, and maybe use a bit of Haskell and Elm.

I've been using Cordova in production for 3 years and have some useful experience to share on this platform. While I would rather recommand using React Native for new apps, I can provide help on: - Big picture mentoring - Configuring config.xml - Cordova SPA architecture - Setting up hot code reloading with CodePush - Using all kind of native plugins (Push/Intercom/Camera)
