Derrick Beining
Front End & Full Stack JavaScript Software Engineer
I'm a full stack software engineer specializing in JavaScript technologies, frameworks, and libraries:
Back End: Node, Express, and Sequelize ORM to PostgreSQL;
Front End: React, Redux, SCSS, Webpack, Babel;
I've completed full-scale development projects in remote teams and wouldn't mind doing so again.
I'm a fan of TDD and pair programming because I'm not a fan of tech debt.
Semantic, dry, well-composed code make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Mediocrity does not.
I'm open to Front End and Full Stack roles.
