About Alex Finnarn

I'm a product-first developer who uses the best languages, frameworks, and libraries for a given project rather than trying to fit all projects into one stack that I know well. Exploring many dev communities has given me a perspective that few others have, and I'm able to see trends and cross-pollinate ideas useful within my dev team. Lately, I'm excited about the new (but old) trend for server-side handling of templates sending HTML to the browser instead of data/JSON. People loosely call the trend Hotwire with Turbo and Stimulus, and I'd like to work for a company dedicated to becoming experts with this new tech. I think it's a game-changer!Languages:​ PHP, JavaScript, Bash, HTML, CSS, SQL (MySQL, Postgres)Frameworks: ​Drupal, Vue.js, React, React Native, Symfony, Next.jsDevOps:​ Docker, Travis CI, Sauce Labs, GitHub Actions, Apache, NGINX, Heroku, Behat, Cypress
