I've worked in tech for about 8 years now in industries that include telecommunications, public art works, and video games. I've had the role of Web Developer and Front End Engineer while designing and developing various websites and applications for web and mobile. I use tools like React, Angular, and Ember and my main language is JavaScript and TypeScript with smaller work done using PHP and Python. I have mentored peers, led projects, and have a passion for giving educational presentations.
I'm a big believer in automated testing. A project I'm particularly proud of used Test Driven Development that put a big focus on stability and confidence. Using Jest and the React Testing Library I contributed 1000+ unit, integration, and end-to-end tests. This approach really pushed me to implement best practices from the start because cutting corners during implementation makes writing tests much more difficult.
When I'm not programming, I'm usually at the gym (ask me about Push, Pull, Legs), reading science fiction (have you read Necromancer yet?), or enjoying the simple pleasure of a walk with music.
