About Me

I am a Senior JavaScript Developer looking out for the newest and latest technologies, libraries, frameworks and other tools that make solutions and projects easier and more fun. I employ a language-agnostic approach in designing and implementing backend services, enterprise architectures and customer applications - with ownership of the whole software development lifecycle on projects. I manage and assist in migrating solutions to current best practices and test-driven standards.
