Director Software Architecture

I worked on the kik platform delivering over 15 games including the kik game for "The Giver" movie when it was released. Many freelance projects based in node involving backend engineering finesse. Was lead node developer and transition architect for a Bangkok based startup, stayed in country and provided startup consultation on a number of node and hybrid backend solutions.

Avid fan of CommonLisp and Scheme for personal exploratory programming. Actively developing a fork of biwascheme, moving towards a more ES6 centered approach, as well as removing 3rd party bindings to jquery and underscore, in favor of vanilla javascript abstractions, so that the language stays library agnostic.

Huge fan of the Make A Lisp project https://github.com/kanaka/mal 

This project is why I encourage atleast a basic understanding of lisp like languages, then work through it in a language you already know, or want to know, and when you understand what is going on, the next time you would like to shift languages, you can browse the implementations in your target language, while working through it in that language, you will pick up idioms as well as see what makes the approach different from your regular language.

I have written a few electron apps meant to control information kiosks, as well as working on an ambitious Magic The Gathering applicaiton using electron and a custom vanilla js reactive framework I wrote, based on principals found here http://read.humanjavascript.com/ 

The framework can be found here https://github.com/dotmilk/mu

Alas I have not stayed current with PHP, I did however start out my professional career with over 7 years of experience with PHP and nginx
