I'm a Front End Engineer specializing in rich-client JavaScript apps at Airbnb. In over a decade of experience with JavaScript -- his first code was for a UI widget on a Geocities page -- I have seen the role of JavaScript on the web morph from novelty to basic building block. Today, I'm prototyping the next generation of Airbnb's front end stack, integrating tools like React, Flux, ES6, and Browserify into Airbnb's Ruby on Rails web apps. Previously at Airbnb, I open-sourced Rendr: a library for building web applications that run on both sides of the wire, fetching data and rendering views on client and server, built on Backbone.js and Node.js, and I've presented at technology conferences all over the world on the topic of "Isomorphic JavaScript." Prior to Airbnb, I brought solar power to the masses as Lead Front End Engineer at SunRun, and built a web-based analytics dashboard for a research project on nano particles' effects on the environment at Duke University.
