Greetings! I'm Ricky, a software developer with experience across several languages, currently based in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
For the past several years, I've built interactive web applications using React, Redux, and Node.js (JavaScript).
I've also worked with Python, Bash, Rust, and PHP. My work is primarily on the front-end, with experience in testing and automation. I've also used Electron to build cross-platform desktop applications.
Open Source
I've contributed to several open source projects on GitHub, most notably, Hyper, Beaker Browser, winamp2-js, and stdweb.
Mentoring
In my spare time I enjoyed teaching others how to write software. Along with some friends, I helped start the Toronto chapter of Nodeschool, a meetup focused on JavaScript and Node.js.
