Summary
Hi, friend! I'm at my best if you want to talk about TypeScript/React and Elixir, but you will be surprised by the amount of tech in web stack that I know, or at least have an opinion on ;) I'm in the top 4% on StackOverflow and I'm in plenty of communities where I have a chance to help people with code or career advice.
If you are unsure if I'm a good fit, just ask for a free session.
If paid session didn't go well, you will receive a full refund, no questions asked.
If you are interested in hearing my "voice" you can check my Youtube, or find my contacts on my website.
What I usually write:
- web-based chat apps
- integrations with APIs
- secure and type-safe code
- great pull request descriptions
- hi (with the intention of checking your progress)

Personal Projects
2020
TypeScript
React
I prefer to have named exports in my React code and adding lazy loading for those is a bit of a pain, so I took this an opportunity to learn more about Proxy objects in JavaScript. I wrote the article "Jotai vs. Recoil: What are the differences?" and I had to learn a lot about Jotai for that one, so I knew that I could reuse their build system for this project to make the resulting package really small.
