Find Javascript Mentors

I am a professional full-stack developer with almost 10 years of experience as a developer. I am passionate about backend systems and have designed and developed multiple high scale back-end systems. I am also a hobbyist Android developer who loves to work on the Android applications. I maintain a blog (http://blog.ashwanik.in) where I share some of my learnings.

I'm a Software Engineer at DigitalOcean. I enjoy building various things in my free time and would love to help mentor people in web technologies or even just learning some new languages.

I am a user interface engineer at Campaign Monitor and I also co-organise the codebar Sydney meetup. I care deeply about accessibility and semantic, well-documented code, and I am always keen to learn new things and remain curious. Prior to my experience in the technology industry as a developer, I completed a Bachelors degree and a Masters degree, the latter while working full-time. I enjoy blogging and writing about many topics, particularly personal development. I am extremely passionate about bringing up other women in tech.

Get in touch with me if you want to chat about:
• front-end development or user interface development
• writing semantic, maintainable code
• formal education vs. learning on your own
• diversity and inclusivity in a community or within a company
• effective verbal and digital communication in the workplace
• being a good team player
• work/life (or just life!) balance
• productivity and personal goals
• getting started with blogging or maintaining a blog

I'm a (very) tall engineer at Netflix who loves dogs, reading, and clean code. I really enjoy working across the stack but my true passion lies in JavaScript and building a clean user experience. I've given numerous conference talks around the world and I'm the creator of the "Full-stack for Frontend" series on Frontend Masters. I believe that empathy is the key to building an effective UI and when I'm not out riding my bike, you can find me hassling other engineers to write more tests.
