Greetings! I'm Ricky, a polyglot software developer currently living in Ottawa, ON. Canada.
For the past several years I've been building interactive web applications with React, Redux and Node.js (JavaScript).
I've also written programs in Python, Bash, Rust and PHP. I tend to work on the front-end, but I'm no stranger to 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 enjoy teaching others how to write software. Along with some friends, I started the Toronto chapter of Nodeschool, a monthly meetup focused on JavaScript and Node.js.
