I have been working with JavaScript for as long as I have been developing software. Most of my experience with JS relates to the design and construction of front-end web applications. I have extensive experience working with technologies like React, Redux, and GraphQL. This experience includes but is not limited to the construction of simple components, developing custom higher-order components that to conform to a specific data model, designing rich data-driven features with Redux and libraries like redux-saga, and developing custom APIs with with Node.js and GraphQL. Aside from what is already listed, I also work with a large array of libraries that concern unit testing, browser testing, continous integration, and many others to ensure code quality.

My experience with GraphQL ranges from consuming APIs to leading their development. I have built GraphQL APIs in Node.js and Ruby. In addition, I have also taught a course on the fundementals of building GraphQL APIs with Node.js in partnership with Manning Publications. I am very well versed in schema design and building APIs that scale. Whether it is with tools like Prisma or building the API in a given languages reference implentation of GraphQL, I have wide range of experience building GraphQL APIs. On the front-end side of things, I also have extensive experience working with tools like Apollo to allow React applications to consume a GraphQL API without the need for an intermediary store or standard fetching libraries such as axios.

My experience with PHP is largely centered around WordPress. I have experience developing plugins, extending the WordPress admin area itself through custom integrations, writing back-end services that allow WordPress to communicate with a custom React.js front-end, and debugging and writing unit tests for maintainability and ease-of-use down the line.

GraphQL In Motion is a comprehensive video course that teaches students how to use GraphQL to build easy-to-manage APIs that radically simplify communication between the components and services that make up a web application. Students begin by learning how GraphQL fits into various application architectures, including how it compares to REST and other API styles. Following a series of examples, students learn how to use GraphQL's syntax to write simple data-retrieval queries, dig into schema design, and tackle more advanced challenges like direct data manipulation and error handling. Along the way, students are presented with real-world challenges and exercises that check their understanding of what they've learned. The ultimate goal of the course is to teach students the fundementals of building, deploying, and scaling a GraphQL API.
