Freelance Developer
Various WordPress, PHP and Node.js projects.
Languages
Go
Go appealed to me because of its slim syntax and ideomatic approches to problem solving and has become my language of choice for productivity on the backend and wherever a problem is complex enough that the language to solve it should be simple and out of the way, especially when working on Code interacting with Kubernetes.
JavaScript
I have been involved with JavaScript since the early days of Node.js. As a developing technology with new libraries and tools being released on a daily basis, JS proved to be a great plaform for experimenting with exciting new technology and nearly universal portability.
Though I'm no longer writing JavaScript on a daily basis or try out every new framework, I'm still quite proficient with it.
