HTML, CSS and JS are my bread and butter but lately I've been deep into React and React Native!
I built this step-by-step guide to take you from an average engineer, designer, or remote-worker-to-be to a top-level talent that will practically have to beat clients off with a stick.
In this guide, you will learn how to:
I've been a web developer for over 10 years, working mostly as a Full Stack developer but with a strong inclination towards front-end.
I've worked with everything, from ASP to PHP to jQuery to Vue.js but my strongest passions are Ruby on Rails, Django, React and React Native.
I'm really interested in lead and senior roles around those technologies, as well as teams that will enable me to utilize my strengths and build up my weaknesses (mostly automated testing and continuous integration).
I can help you make high level decisions around your technical stack and help prioritize your goals. I can also consult your engineers through difficult problems and offer some insight on how to avoid them in the future.
I can architect and build from scratch a front-end solution, encompassing web and mobile using React and React Native. The nature of React allows us to utilize a pretty significant overlap between the two technologies, which allow for a more centralized coding solution.
I can cover everything, from HTML/CSS authoring to the creation of the actual back-end and front-end, as well as the construction of a RESTful API to cover various application needs.
Would you like to know more or just discuss something?
I've made it my mission to always leave a good impression. I bring a positive, can-do attitude to any team of which I'm part.
- Has advanced front end development skills, whether in authoring (HTML5/CSS3, plugin development with jQuery) or templating in Drupal (in rapid pace, keeping a professionally organised theme folder structure). - Very fun to work with. - Can deliver projects in a small amount of time. - Quick learner.

Bill's ability to think out of the box is genuinely impressive. He can write quality code in unusually short periods of time. One thing that deserves to be noted is his very good and timely update on new technologies.
Software Engineer, Echofin
I had the pleasure to work with Bill on the Wadja.com site and
service as well as other web and mobile centric projects.
From the minute Bill joined the team he brought a high level
of enthusiasm and energy coupled with deep knowledge and
expertise in User Interface, User Experience and app
development, that added immense value to our team.
Bill simply knows how to get the job done, and thinks
creatively to add even more ideas and functionality to
features and products. I strongly recommend Bill and look
forward to collaborating again with him in the future.
Chairman of the Board, The Duran
I have worked with Bill on various projects, web and mobile, front and back end stuff in various programming languages. I can say he masters front-end implementation (CSS, HTML5, JQuery) he is fast, quick learner and a fun person to work with.

I've picked the projects I'm most proud of throughout my career.
Atypon had taken on the project of rebuilding the NEJM.org web platform from the ground up. The client had assigned the design to an agency of their choosing and I was assigned as the UI lead of the project to ensure everything was integrated into Atypon's CMS smoothly.
My responsibilities included:
The project was a massive success and was delivered one month ahead of schedule.
A Django project that was initially developed by another developer but I was called on to help put on some finishing touches. We ended up adding a lot of features and improving the QOL of both the coaches and the clients.
Coaches can use the customized admin panel to create training programs, diet goals and observe the clients' progress.
Clients have access to their coaching programs, can check in on their progress and diet, upload pictures, measurements and much more.
I was the sole React Native engineer on this project. It initially started out as an Android-only project but was converted to cover both iOS and Android down the line.
The project utilizes Expo, Redux, Sentry, Google Maps and a lot of custom features, such as offline support (ask my about it!), real-time chatting, custom Intercom integration and others.
I was the Tech Lead of this project, almost since its inception. I was initially responsible for everything, from authoring HTML and CSS from Photoshop, to implementing the back-end, front-end and server and database administration.
Eventually, I was responsible for 2 more engineers and I took on a more high-level role, making tech stack decisions and mediating between the management team, product owner and the tech team. I also built and designed the API used to communicate with our mobile apps, utilizing Django REST Framework and OAuth.
