I'm good at: Building web applications and managing teams that build software, writing APIs, user friendly UX, thinking from the perspective of the user (or the consumer of my API), starting or joining a project with a team of colleagues I'm unfamiliar with and immediately being productive. Making practical decisions and refactoring rather than being a software architecture astronaut. Taking time to carefully explain technical concepts & challenges to nontechnical stakeholders and managing collaboration across teams. Also good at writing funny Tweets. I believe in Rob Pike's 5 rules of programming.I'm a pragmatist software engineer.Tech I prefer: Javascript, Typescript, React, Node, Express.js, Ruby, Rails, Postgres, vim (and recently VSCode w/vim keybindings)
