I have experience building interactive web application front ends with JavaScript including many libraries and frameworks such as: jQuery, ReactJS, wow.js, AnimateOnScroll, and more. I also have experience with back end development utilizing NodeJS and various server frameworks such as ExpressJS, HapiJS, and more. I have built Single Page Applications utilizing React's Router 4. I use the latest ECMAScript features and ensure cross-browser compatibility with unit testing, polyfills, and transpilers (primarily Babel). If you need help with animation, adding interaction, features, or components to your project let me know! I can also build up the back end or front end of your application if your strength lies in the other area. I am more than happy to work on existing code or start from scratch. If you are using or want to use any frameworks or libraries I am glad to include them in your project.

HTML5 experience with a dedication to standards compliance, semantic markup and accessibility. I believe in building specification compliant code to ensure future-proofing and good SEO. I also believe in writing software that is accessible to users of different abilities. I have extensive experience with creating custom web applications and components with HTML including creating custom objects and using data-attributes to build up logic and functionality easily and in a way that is scalable.

I have been deep diving into Node for the last couple of years. It is amazing to be able to work in the same language in the back end and front end! Node also allows you to utilize the best features of JavaScript and is incredible at handling huge streams of data (buffers) in a functional manner. I love the npm community and how there is always something new to learn about in the world of JS/ES/Node! I have experience creating back end REST APIs or web framework servers to display server side rendered HTML (great for SEO!) using Pug/Jade templates (similar to Mustache/Handlebars/etc).
