I am a senior software developer with twenty six years of commercial engineering experience. Although my current focus is on JavaScript/ES6 based frontends, my technical expertise cover a wide range of technologies spanning all tiers of information technology systems, including a deep understanding of TCP/IP based protocols.My aim is to provide high performance frontends using best practice techniques that provide a fluid user experience getting the user what they need with the least possible interactions, while still allowing them a high level of customization and personalized enhancement.I have contributed code to a number of community JavaScript frameworks, including jQuery mobile, Zepto, QuoJS and Ionic, although I am a bit of a purist, preferring pure JavaScript SPA's using a combination of prototype and revealing module patterns.Experience has shown me the importance of complying with standards to increase software longevity, and the fundamental need to clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of 3rd party frameworks and libraries before including them in a project.On Stack Overflow, I am rated by peer review in the top 10% overall, top 5% for JavaScript and CSS, top 10% for HTML5, Cordova and Ajax, top 20% for android, iPhone, iOS and jQuery. My Stack Overflow reach is 2.8 million developers. I have significant experience working as a lead developer in large remote agile teams.I am a competent lead developer, sharing coding insight by example, pair programming, and code review. I perform best within a challenging and fast pace environment that requires a diverse range of technical skills. I am able to think creatively and communicate clearly in interactions with clients and peers, and I frequently add value at a strategic level.I favor behavior driven development (DBB/TDD), to manage business expectations, and ensure a high level of quality assurance.
