This developer also:

• Has 5+ years experience in JavaScript software engineering, web development, or any related variation of programming experience.

• Can empathize with the joy of "It worked!" and the frustration of "why's it doing that?"

• Loves to write clean code and uses it to clearly and concisely tell a great narrative to readers.

• Enjoys working consistently each day rather than sporadically in fire-drill mode.
