Full Stack JavaScript Developer

I have around 8 years of professional experience working with both large and small teams covering both front-end and backend architecture and tooling and full-stack feature planning, development, deployment, QA, and maintenance. My approach to feature/architecture planning and development is to work through requirements directly with product owners and to iteratively build out the systems they need. Each step in that process sheds more light on what is possible, what the requirements and scopes of the projects actually are, and what changes and alterations to the design should be made. In my experience following an iterative, agile approach where product owners are kept in-the-loop throughout the entire dev cycle results is vastly better products. I'm very good at getting up to speed with new technologies and requirements and thrive solving difficult or nebulous problems. My development background has required me to pick up a broad range of skills and to tackle a broad range of problems from security design to debugging and patching 3rd-party libraries. It's my policy to try and leave teams, products, and codebases in a better position and in a better condition than I found them. I am currently interested in both consulting and contracting roles, although my dev process when contracting is very similar to how I approach consulting tasks; I believe there's a huge value add in making sure that development processes are tightly integrated into the planning and design of features, products, and architecture. If you have an interesting problem to solve, I'd love to get in touch :)
