About Derek Barber

I am an experienced polyglot software developer with a focus on web and mobile applications. In recent years my focus has been on developing web applications with Ruby, Rails, and JavaScript (including Node and React). On the mobile side I have experience developing cross-platform apps using React Native as well as building native iOS apps using Swift. I also have recently been exploring functional programming and have been enjoying Elixir and the Phoenix framework.I am a continual learner, always seeking to improve myself and my craft. I’m not afraid of finding out that I’m wrong and learning a better way to do things. I honestly enjoy programming and the process of bringing ideas and specifications to life. Writing clean code is a passion of mine and so a primary goal is to always write well designed code that is easy to change and also easy to test. I’m an avid user of automated testing tools and generally practice a test-first approach to development.
