ABOUT ME
passionate about dev best practices; innovation coach; startup advisor
passionate about dev best practices; innovation coach; startup advisor

In addition to freelancing to help engineers with best practices, I am the CEO of Mindbox Studios, where I facilitates the process of innovation with early-stage startups and with larger organizations in transition. My team and I team help get new ventures to market, innovate on business models, and establish a culture that supports intrapreneurship. I spend my free time as a startup ecosystem builder, connecting founders and funders in the Sacramento area; I am an unabashed nerd who considers science and philosophy textbooks “brain candy”; and I can usually be found wearing unusually colourful shoes.

JavaScript is now ubiquitous and talented developers are in high demand. Yet despite the inherent power of the language and its vibrant and thriving culture of tools, JavaScript can be hard to "get right". Grokking a declarative, functional language and understanding how to structure both code and processes in that paradigm to scale can be challenging. I have many years of experience mentoring development teams in JavaScript best practices, both within and without popular frameworks like AngularJS and React and I'd love to help you set up your team and project for success.

Though I have experience with several backend languages, I always find myself returning to JavaScript on Node. With a dynamic, declarative language, many frameworks and tools, and a vibrant ecosystem with a strong package manager, it may just be the perfect all-purpose server platform. I am intimately familiar with the platform and its quirks and thoroughly enjoy writing tools for its ecosystem.

React is one of my favourite view layers for modern web apps. Built in are all the components needed to have strong separation of concerns and clear data flow. With a model like Flux or a framework like Redux and a simple router, we suddenly have a powerful platform on which to create highly scalable yet easy-to-digest web applications. I'd love to help you get set up right with React.

The web is a platform and no app that sits on it can get very far without a strong knowledge of its markup and style. I've been working on consumer-facing websites and apps for more than a decade and can help with structure and style questions as well as with UX review.
