JavaScript Joe

I like getting people excited to learn.

About

I'm a frontend engineer, an instructor for egghead.io, a member of the Twilio Champions Program, and an organizer for Desert GraphQL. In 2018, Twilio inducted me into their Hall of Doers. I used to teach HTML/CSS and JavaScript workshops for a local meetup Learn to Code - Thinkful Phoenix.

I also offer virtual office hours if you want to chat about coding, get advice, want to teach me something cool, or need somewhere to vent.

When I'm not coding, you might find me reading, working out, playing basketball or riding my bike.

Selected Projects

[MVP] mentored.dev

A "gamified" learning platform to help you become a web developer. The idea is that it will take you from the beginning to being job-ready using interactive dialog-style lessons, quizzes and small tasks.

Timezoner

A simple Chrome extension to help you coordinate across timezones. Input the date and time of your event and then we give you a link where others can view the event in their respective timezone. Timezoning made easy 👏🏼
