DevOps and Node Architect

I've been writing HTML / CSS since the internet was invented and became mainstream back in 1995 timeframe.  I've worked with HTML on a regular basis and am completely current on all the great things in HTML5 that I can't use in IE8 (smile).  However CSS is were I thrive.  I love doing things with CSS that previously had to be graphics or javascript.  It's a personal challenge.  So that's to say I do a lot of CSS3 design.  Mostly these days I like to use a preprocessor, primarily LESS.

Several Single Page App for various companies over the years.  Node js websites, micro-services, middle-ware

Used Backbone.js for several applications for routing, forums, good UX (instant feed back), crud operations, AJAX fetching, etc.

The travel industry applications were largely written using Backbone.js for the search results, and booking forms.

JQuery is JQuery.  I've used JQuery 1.x for making ajax calls, listening on events, generating events. On a rare occasion I've written a JQuery plugin to support some common form element feature or other auto-wiring using data- attributes or the like.

In addition to that I've written 2 m. sites using JQuery Mobile was requires JQuery so, yeah I've used JQuery a bit.

I've written several web applications using responsive web design or m. sites that were designed with mobile in mind using JQuery Mobile, Cordova, Bootstrap, or pure CSS with grid-style layouts with floats or inline-blocking.

One of the clients I worked for was previously using SVN, which I also have knowledge of.  We decided to convert all 60+ developers to using GIT as part of the migration to Gerrit (a code review tool developed by Google and actively used for Android code base).  As part of this I became intimately familiar with Git, branching, rebasing, strategies, merging, merge conflicts, and tooling for windows, mac, and linux.

Most places I've been to since then I've been referred to as the Git expert in the office.
