  Freelance Web Developer

  Small, long-forgotten projects and small websites in old-school PHP, the pre-v5 era and the v5 era. Ever since I'm pushing harder and harder into programming, so to this date I've developed a huge skill set. I'm putting this here for honoring these times and basically as a reminder when everything started.

  I love Free/Libre & Open Source and for more than 6 years I'm developing and maintaining a massive number of Open Source projects, which as of October 2019 are around 450 npm packages and their respective GitHub repositories. I also participate in other small and big projects like JSTransformers, date-fns, the Conventional Commits specification, Conventional Changelog, Node Formidable (lead maintainer), MicroJS (maintainer). Through the years I also organized the Datetime & RegexHQ GitHub organizations, where we collaborate and maintain date & time utilities and regular expressions, with some of the biggest names in Open Source world - Jon Schlinkert, Addy Osmani, Mathias Bynens, John Otander and more.Combined, my software has ~50 million downloads per month (and growing at a fast pace) and is used by some small and big projects & companies - such as:* WhiteSource - secure and manage open source components* ConsenSys - Ethereum Blockchain Solutions* RenovateBot - Automated dependency updates* CodeceptJS - Modern Era Acceptance Testing Framework for NodeJS* OrientJS - Official OrientDB driver for node.js* Decentraland - OSS, decentralized virtual world on the blockchain* Aragon.org - Unstoppable decentralized organizations on Etherium* Truffle Suite - World class development environment for blockchain dapps and smart contracts* Strapi - Open source Headless CMS to build customizable and modern APIs* SeekOSS, leboncoin, ElectronForge and many moreThe main focus of my software packages is on developer experience, automation, testing, and tooling. Just to clarify, all of these projects are well tested with 100% test coverage, amazing documentation, following best linting & formatting practices (Airbnb, StandardJS and Prettier), enabled continuous integration, automated publishing and so on. It's though, yea.I've spent endless hours contributing back to the Open Source community with debugging, opening pull requests, answering and asking questions. Show less
