A Passion for Programming

I've always loved writing software! From my first Python text-based adventure game back in ninth grade to the streaming media server & phone app our team pulled together spring 2017, I'm dedicated to writing seamless, modular, beautiful code bases.

I couldn't be more excited to build ever-faster Angular apps, write righteous ES6 for React, and develop ever-more-awesome software for this web-driven era in tech.

My Services

Javascript

DOM manipulation, API integration, and AJAX with a modular and balanced blend of Functional and Object-Oriented Design under the hood. JQuery optional.

Why don't you need jQuery?

Andrew Rabon on Vanilla JS

Node

Server setup in minutes with standard Express & Express Router integration. RESTful best practices regarded, but not required. Backends optimized for speed.

Why use Node?

AngularJS / React

The power of Single Page Applications made easy with either of the most popular JS frameworks! Other frameworks suit your needs better? I'd love to learn them!

Adventures in Angular

Postgres / MySQL

A Relational Database to fit your storage needs. Designed with equal parts extensibility and efficiency. Best practices that work for you! (Knex.js integration preferred)

Prefer noSQL? I love to learn!

Moshe Kaplan on MongoDB

My Work

I'm currently engaged full-time as Chief Technical Officer at Health Hero, Inc. where I manage a small remote team, quash bugs, and build omnichannel health engagement products.

These projects are from my time at Galvanize's 6-month, Full-Stack Web Development Immersive course in Boulder, Colorado from October 2016 to March 2017. Since then, I've made many contributions to private Rails applications, chatbots, IVR systems, and mobile apps.
