Summary
build & release engineer and web developer for hire.
I'm not streaming now due to life and poorly-spec'd PC. Missing videos may be found at youtube.com/user/X1011 (LiveEdu deletes old videos that don't have enough views.)
was streaming web development and Linux stuff. ❤ The Web, JavaScript, Angular, and functional programming. lawful neutral. all misspellings are intentional.
As a developer, I've learned the importance of a good process with methods like TDD, code review, and continuous delivery. Often lacking the infrastructure required to support such a process, I've learned how to build it. Seeing the need for development lifecycle infrastructure and my gravitation toward it, I'd like to take on a role where it can be my primary focus.
