Developer
Simplicity is the soul of efficiency.
– Austin Freeman
About
It’s impossible to think of an industry that isn’t being powered by mission-critical software. Businesses are offloading that workload into the cloud and the web more and more, and I've become obsessed with the growing importance and how much programming is empowering the average person to take advantage of these emerging opportunities. I've consulted and worked on projects ranging from Lo-Code plugins to enterprise SASS products, managed offshore teams to exacting deadlines, and I've owned the front-end of a 150MM+ award-winning retail business. I'm someone with an insatiable curiosity, always be looking to improve upon and do things better. I put a lot of emphasis on being surrounded by a great team because I think working with great people makes all the difference. With all that said, I believe the developer of today is the entrepreneur of tomorrow.
Methodology
Responsive
Cross-device and platform experiences are now the norm. Mobile First isn't just an idea, it's an imperative for every project.
Maintainable
It's critical people can understand and support your work. My aim is to provide clean code that is easy to interact with.
Scalable
Code should be written in a way that provides easy ways to add and change features without adding technical debt into the equation.
Strategic
I work with different areas of the business so we can make informed decisions that bring value to customers.
My Skillset
My Tools
One of the most complicated things to explain is how one language, framework, or build tool co-relates with another. It's important to me to be able to communicate how the tools I use and choose lean upon one another to and are interconnected either directly or indirectly. This chart is a pretty good representation of what I have used predominately and how those relate to one another.
