Well versed in python and javascript, but capable in other languages as well (have deployed Java/Golang/C recently). I've recently been working in privacy/security, currently working on combating disinformation.

I've been big on python testing lately. I've implemented testing for large python projects at two companies now, bringing them from 0% coverage to 100% coverage. I'm experienced in mocking tools to isolate components for testing, make tests deterministic, and remove the need for networking (who wants to run tests that rely on third party things).

Big on Django but not restricted to that. Lots of experience with modern react/vue. I've been a remote worker for about half a decade now, so I had a track record of getting things done without direct supervision, and my remote work means my schedule is flexible for side projects. Set up to easily work with either US or UK entities.

Full-stack developer (front-end focused) specializing in using Javascript, React, and various other tools to build modern websites and web applications. I have a versatile skill set and strong communication skills. Looking for contract work.

I'm a product lead who specializes in Clojure/Script development. I quickly and independently develop quality software that will meet your business needs.

Recent work: - Created https://github.com/deckeraa/pouchdb-fx, a re-frame effects handler for PouchDB. (Please keep in mind that this library is very much in alpha if you decide to peruse the code :) ).

- Created a fuzz-testing tool that takes in a language grammar (EBNF) and uses that to generate syntactically correct random text in that language. During text generation it can also take in external information (such as table and column metadata for use in generated SQL queries) to create random text that is contextually correct as well. Currently used for testing SQL databases.

- Built https://familymemorystream.com, a video-hosting and sharing site for family videos. (Tech: Reagent, Clojure/Script, S3, CouchDB, Stripe)

- Created the https://github.com/deckeraa/couchdb-auth-for-ring/ open-source library that enables you to use CouchDB as an authentication back-end for Ring apps.

- Led a team of ~17 software developers for the business intelligence module of a large healthcare IT company.
