I have been a frontend developer for the following companies:

- Thomson Reuters
- Ameriprise Financial
- BestBuy Inc (Lead Node.js developer)
- SuperValu Inc

I am also very familiar with advanced JavaScript such as Prototypical inheritance, inheritance, and advanced JavaScript tools such as Webpack, Browserify. I prefer using ECMAScript 6 (ES6) but I am (obviously) familiar with ES5 and earlier.

I have used Python in many different ways. Currently, I am working on a side project that uses Django as the backend (mostly as an API server alone with django-rest-framework). I have built websites using Flask before. Additionally, I am teaching 3 courses on building Python desktop applications using PyQt (or PySide)

Currently, I am working on a side project that uses Django as the backend (mostly as an API server alone with django-rest-framework) and many other 3rd-party Django packages

I was the lead Node.js developer at BestBuy Inc. My job was to lead the effort and write most of the code when BestBuy decided to move away from Groovy-based backend to a Node.js one. This was an amazing experience. I continue to use Node.js today mostly for side projects.

An extremely popular JavaScript library that I have worked with throughout my career. My current company utilizes jQuery heavily and it is my job to convert that to Backbone and Vuejs in the upcoming project.

Version control system that I have used throughout my career

I have used Backbone at every single organization that I have worked for. It's an amazing library that is very versatile. I have used Backbone Models, Collections, Events, Views, its Router and History API. I have used Backbone to build very large, enterprise-ready applications

I run 3 personal servers at this time and manage them by myself. One of those servers has several different accounts that allow other users to host their content.

I have used AngularJS at many organizations that I have worked for. One of the projects at my current organization was to convert an existing, primarily backend-oriented website to a website powered by AngularJS. This project is still ongoing.

I have used Flask to build several websites, both personal and for clients. It is an amazing microframework that allows you to quickly spin up a website without too much of a hassle.
