He specializes in mobile web applications, hybrid mobile apps in Ionic, custom Cordova plugins, and is in a complicated relationship with JavaScript/ECMA. (Sorry, ladies.) He likes long walks on the beach in the winter with ECMA, watching buddy movies with ECMA, and playing acoustic guitar like that guy in college in 2003 who brought his guitar literally everywhere. Like, seriously, dude? We’re trying to develop scalable applications, here.
