Welcome

I like to build things

About

I enjoy building single page applications with React or Angular. I believe in the value of understanding the core of JavaScript. I like using backend tools like node, python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, and CircleCI. The code that I write works, because I've written automated tests to prove it.

I've got a young family, and they keep me pretty busy when I'm not working. But I do enjoy spending time outside, I love living in the Pacific Northwest. I love the rain because it keeps everything green.

I didn't study computer science in college. I studied education. I learned how to teach other people how to solve problems. At some point, I decided I'd rather fish than teach others to fish. I have by in large self taught myself how to develop applications for the modern web.

I had the privilege of working with Nathan on a small development team for more than a year at a local Portland startup. Nathan has a natural propensity to provide clean, manageable code and has a passion for learning and implementing industry best practices. Whenever I have questions about front end questions Nathan is the first person I turn to.

Nate is that rare individual who not only has a range of skills but can apply them across boundaries to come up with new, innovative solutions. He brought his extensive education experience to improving our Front End and Full Stack JavaScript curricula. He combined the best practices in instruction with a rapid grasp of the key issues in programming. Thanks to him, the program became more interactive, more collaborative and more creative for students.

Nathan is an extremely talented developer and an absolute pleasure to work with. His approach to troubleshooting was effective, he is efficient and timely in delivery of projects, and he is very easy to collaborate with. His skill in Angular was clearly demonstrated in the quality of his work. I'd be happy to have Nathan on any project, and I can give him the highest of recommendations.
