SEEKING WORK Based in southern Utah (Escalante). Prefer remote, but am able to travel for relatively short periods on large projects or for important meetings. I'm an independent full stack developer with some background in project management and experience as a startup founder and CTO. I have worked with Rails, AngularJS, Node.js, ReactJS, Cordova/Ionic/Phonegapp, Postgres, MongoDB, AWS, Heroku, and am always excited to learn something new. Given my business understanding I find that I'm able to be most valuable on projects where dialogue and pushback are appreciated. I prefer to be involved in somewhat longer commitments for projects where I can sink my teeth into the domain and context rather than just the technology. I’ll just be honest that I like doing work I'm proud of and working with A-players. I also have spent time managing interns, teaching a coding school, and managing/training dev teams so I work well with other devs and can help them level up depending on their skills. Types of projects I have a leg up on are investment/financial platforms, startup product prototyping/MVP, SecureDrop anonymous whistleblower setup/installation/promotion, and custom CMS websites (for those who don't want to use Wordress, Squarespace, etc.). Some recent projects of note are http://alerts.quicktrax.com http://alerts.quicktrax.com, http://invest.calvertfoundation.org http://invest.calvertfoundation.org, http://rumblesum.com http://rumblesum.com, and http://entradaescalante.com http://entradaescalante.com.
