Profile: https://flows.cv/barton

A strong desire to create and build brought me to web development. I am driven by the satisfaction of taking an idea from paper to production, as well as diving into an existing codebase and putting the pieces together. My Javascript skills include, but are not limited to: React, TypeScript, GraphQL, NodeJS, Jest and Backbone. 
    
  Beyond my familiarity with modern web technologies, I am an effective and empathetic communicator. I take great joy in the team-oriented nature of programming.
