My experience in JavaScript began like many: jQuery. I used it to manipulate DOM elements and create animations on pages. But when I got my first full-time job, I needed to start doing more complex things with websites and became a lot more serious about the language. I read Douglas Crockford's "The Good Parts" cover-to-cover and started doing most of my work using JS. I became the go-to guy for JS in my first job and a key member of the front-end team at my second job, after which I went on to do JavaScript both front and back-end as a contract and freelance developer for 4 different companies. I love it!

NodeJS is easily my most favourite platform to use on the backend at the moment, and I've been a big fan of it from the early days. It was only about 2 years ago, however, that I started writing open-source libraries in NodeJS, and now my GitHub profile is full of Node stuff.
I love writing in JavaScript, and I love how Node's ecosystem encourages use of small, independent microservices.

I've been using git for all of my source control needs since I started working and I absolutely love it!
