Understanding the performance benefits and nuances of web tech enable a smooth 60 frame per second user experience. As a designer smooth ux is a high priority for me, as a developer I just wanna show off my work :]. I have experience tuning for mobile and desktop, from single pages, to visualizers, to game development.

I worked on a sizable front-end team on a single large scale repo with millions of users. There I learned how to manage a repo and work together to get features done and bugs fixed. That and personal projects have taught me how to prevent merge issues and fix commit history problems with confidence.

I use Node daily in my development workflow, but I’ve created a number of back-ends using Express, Koa, other Restful solutions or hand-written RPC solutions. For the benefit of performance, I’ve integrated Serverside rendering lazy-loading. Regularly work with and modify build systems written with Webpack and Babel, or Gulp, Browserify, etc..

I take pride in considering the end user’s experience as much as possible. Questioning moderning design practices when they seem to work against the user. Several years experience with Photoshop and web design. I’ve fleshed out my skillset with masks, filters, scripting, and by adopting the use of Gimp.

Extensive experience with modern and past HTML ecosystems. Know my way around HTML and the importance of each tag type. I write scalable and cross-browser CSS and I know best practices for Search Engine Optimization. I prefer frontend work, so I know how to get the most out of static site generators and static hosts, like Jekyll and Github Pages

Chris is a JavaScript expert and a pleasure to work with. He was kind to tweak an animation for his awesome React NPM that he programmed. He also went above and beyond to help me with further tweaks once my app deployed. He actually develops robust and user-friendly node packages! I will definitely work with him in the future. I highly recommend him.

Thank you for your help. Chris. It's good to get feedback and learn to debugs react-redux.
