At Green Bits, the retail team works with Flutter, Dart, JavaScript, and Rubyto build a Point of Sale system for the rapidly-growing marijuana industry.
Fell in love with Dart, Go, Flutter, Kubernetes, and even enjoyed wrangling some C#. The team worked on several projects, including a platform-as-a-service-WYSIWYG-app-builder and internal developer tools. All of which make Enterprise Software easier to write, maintain and scale.
I love writing and teaching, and I love Flutter. I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to write a book about Flutter, to spread the good work. The book is published by Manning.
I've worked on various websites and web applications, mostly using Dart, JavaScript, Angular, and React. Including AppTree.io, Workflow Step Library, and Lassie: A (top secret!) two-way emergency communication app.
Thanks to Flutter, I've been able to work on mobile apps as well. Most recently, I built an RFID scanning app for MSU students. I've also used Objective-C and Javato write plugins for Flutter.
Good user-experience includes writing good documentation if you're building developer tools. I wrote much of the documentation for AppTree's Workflow Engine.
OSS is valuable for the entire community. It's one of the joys of my career to give back to ecosystems that I rely so heavily on. I've contributed to the Flutter and Dart community with several packages, as well as some JavaScript wrangling to GatsbyJS.
Some others include Flutter Map, Flutter Calendar, and Dart Date Utils. See it all on myGithub
I don't have a CS degree. It was a long slog to go from zero to employed. Now, I love helping others in that boat via mentoring at Ask a Dev, writing helpful articles for CSS-tricks, and speaking.
Working in food and beverage has nothing to do with software. And, I'm proud of that. For 10 years, from my mid-teens through college, I worked in bars, managed some of the worlds best restaurants, and became a certified Sommelier.
All that said, I came up spending every day working directly with and communicating with guests, clients and teammates alike. I'm convinced that these years gave me a crash course in communicating with human beings and working with everyone to reach common goals. We're all on the same team when we work together.
