Hey, I'm Rob - a frontend engineer with over 15 years experience building for the web. While my core competency is frontend and the React ecosystem, I can navigate the full stack confidently and contribute to most any codebase. I've worked on products sitting atop PHP, C#/.NET, Python, Rails and Node.
The bulk of my experience is in startups (B2C, B2B & SaaS), though I am open to any organization that provides a strong culture fit. In my experience, culture and team dynamics far outways what is being built - or the tech that is being used. I am growth oriented and passionate about working collaboratively, cross-functionally, and making a meaningful impact in people's lives with what is built. I'm also unafraid of legacy code or tech debt.
Note: My current role and location is in St Thomas, USVI. After my last startup role, my family and I decided to try something new and see if life in the Virgin Islands could work for us. In short, it did not. My family is already in WA, and I am here finishing up my role as IT Coordinator. I will be joining my family in WA at the end of November.
I just recently tried out a 2019 Razer Blade 15", and I love it. Working with WSL in Windows 10 is very satisfying, or you can remove Windows and opt for Ubuntu or whatever Linux you prefer. The Razer Blade hardware and build quality is top-notch, and I can undersatnd why it was called the gamer's Macbook Pro.
I was introduced to the book "The Illuminatus Trilogy", by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson in High School and it turned out to be pretty impactful on how my worldview developed. It pushed me towards questioning things, as opposed to falling into some Conspiracy Theory rabbit-hole which the book could easily nudge you towards.
Yes I have definitely noticed the same sluggishness. Does anyone have any resources or recommendations for transitioning off of Gmail and onto another email provider?
Very inspiring. My wife and I are in northern Chicago suburb of Highwood, and we really aspire to move out west to a more nature-centric style of living. I like how one of the core parameters to your search was Fiber optic internet, and then spread from there. Where did you start your search?
Remote: Yes
Willing to relocate: No
Technologies: React, Next.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, GraphQL, React Query, Webpack, SWC, Storybook, Design Systems, UI/UX, Docker, Monorepos
