Most of my React work uses functional components and hooks.  I've used a variety of css approaches for different situations.  Testing with Jest is always at 100%.  I mock and stub dependencies for unit tests and I use a variety of techniques for integrated testing that reduce dependencies.

I specialize in newer Javascript, functional approaches and above all, clear and concise code with great tests.  Code coverage is always 100%  Most of my time is spent refactoring existing code in order to make it maintainable and easily changeable in the future

I am quite fussy about the smallest detail.  I love using modern HTML and CSS to provide interactive and responsive sites on multiple devices and sizes and doing so is also fun coding for me.  I love applying principles of design and interactivity that so many of today's sites lack.

I thoroughly understand git as you can see in my answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3329943/git-branch-fork-fetch-merge-rebase-and-clone-what-are-the-differences/9204499#9204499
I've used it in several different engagements and I am comfortable with branches, merging, rebasing, using with heroku, etc.

I don't care about the structure of standups or other Agile ceremonies.
I am passionate about responding to user feedback as fast as possible.  I love activities that bring team members together to produce amazing results.  Sometimes this means standups, retros and backlog grooming.  In other situations, different ceremonies may also serve well.  I remain true to the underling principles of XP programming and I care little for the bastardization of the terms by large corporations.  yeah.

Responsive React Apps are my fave.

New Automation Framework Implementation in Ruby

Unlike modern framework which I implment, this is a case where I really did write an automation framework (for bash scripting functions) from scratch.
