☝️ Javascript, Typescript, Next.js, React, Tailwind.Next.js is the foundation of high-quality web applications, providing tooling and features that enable fast and efficient development. I’m proficient with every aspect of the framework and enjoy engaging with the community and following each release. Integrates well with cloud services and ORMs while providing route handlers, middleware, and server actions natively in the framework.In-depth knowledge of rendering strategies including Incremental Static Regeneration, Static Site Generation, Server-Side Rendering, and Hydration & UI-Streaming to bring it all together. I have experience configuring these for many different applications, leveraging the abstractions provided by Next.js to architect intricate and production-grade systems.The React ecosystem is used for client-side functionality. Tanstack, Zustand, Hooks, Server Components, Data fetching & caching, State-management.Tailwind-CSS, Shadcn, Radix-UI, Headless-UI, (Framer) Motion, xy/react-flow, Design Systems, Figma, SVG & Native CSS Animations. I’m well-versed in these tools and libraries, and also have a deep understanding of the underlying principles like Data-Attributes; used for framework-agnostic interactivity and state-management without any Javascript overhead.I like to think I have an eye for design, but I also recognize the value of collaborating with dedicated designers and product developers to create intuitive user interfaces with considerations for the frontend code, ensuring fast performance and maintainability.Javascript & Typescript Fundamentals: Concurrency & Event-Loop, Closures & Scope, Prototypical Inheritance, Async Patterns, Service Workers, Built-in objects & data structures, Browser APIs & Permissions. Typescript.I’ve followed the entire history of JavaScript, from its origins and rapid adoption to the modern ecosystem we know today. Fittingly, I was born in November 1995, around the time Javascript was first introduced, so you could say my passion for coding on the web was destined from the start.The ability to become proficient with any library/framework/methodology extremely quickly comes from a strong fundamental understanding of the ecosystem. I’m driven by a passion for the internet, technology, and building things.My first true love in Frontend-Focused Fullstack Development was from 2017-2021; I was immersed in Webview-based Hybrid Apps & PWAs using Angular, Ionic, Capacitor/Cordova, and Firebase. I have fond memories of building TONS of apps as well as enterprise products using this stack. Observables and Singleton patterns were commonplace, and Firebase was the backend glue that wrapped everything together.I was an early supporter of Jeff Delaney and the ‘Fireship’ Youtube channel, formerly known as ‘AngularFire’. I engaged in the initial testing and formulation of the official Angular-Firebase SDK, and actively participated in Google Developer Group events in Philadelphia as well as other local tech groups.
