Javascript is the only language I have seen continue to grow in popularity since I started my career. I have built projects with many Javascript frameworks like Angular, Backbone, React, React Native, jQuery and even Vanilla Javascript. I have made websites and hybrid mobile applications.

I have been writing React Native every day for large corporations. I specialize in writing enterprise applications primarily with React Native. React Native is a superset of the popular library React. I have solved many complicated problems with React Native. From satisfying the need for quick development to building off line capable mobile applications. React Native has empowered me to complete my customer's projects.

I often use Node.js to handle any api endpoints I need. It is the quickest and easiest way for me to setup a server and expose data for my applications. I really find Node a pleasure to write, especially in todays ecosystem. Javascript in general has become more popular than ever and having the ability to write it on the backend is a true convenience. I do believe in using the right tool for the job but a lot of the time Node.js is that tool.

Regardless of some people writing off the importance of knowing HTML and CSS it is relevant in any browser application you write. I have seen amazing back end engineers become crippled because they do not have the simplest skillset to learn in the world of web development. I am an expert with HTML and CSS. I love Bootstrap and use it in any application I can. It provides an extremely familiar and easy to use syntax while handling responsive design as well as poplar styles and effects. It stays up with what is poplar today adding and changing features so you always have the most modern look and feel.

Git has become a very popular tool for all engineers. Whether you use Github or some other platform that offers git services you are using git. I use git daily for work as well as in my off time for fun projects. Git can be a little intimidating at first because it is typically used from the command line. Once you get past the intimidation and unlock one of the most powerful tools developers have at their fingertips, you will be empowered and safer.

I am a Certified Scrum Master and work in an agile environment. I believe the agile methodology is far superior to waterfall. It empowers scrum teams to take control and work hard. It allows team members to get things done on time without distractions and creates a sense of security for team members. Scrum keeps people outside of the scrum team involved but maintains important boundaries. I find that rituals improve communication between all people involved in the project and helps keep all team members on track.
