# Brian Huston

> Senior Software Engineer at Shipt

Location: Oakland, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/brianhuston

When I was a kid, I enjoyed building remote control cars and doing cool experiments with chemistry kits. As an adult, I've found a new passion for software development. Writing and styling applications, researching, writing tests, and debugging is my new chemistry set. Deploying to AWS is my new remote control car race. The excitement of scaling the back end to handle higher throughput with less latency is as exciting as getting a faster lap time by using better tires or a lighter graphite frame. 

Technologies: JavaScript, JQuery, HTML5, CSS3, ES6, React.js, Redux, Node.js, AWS EC2, AWS S3, MySQL, MongoDB, PostrgeSQL, Loader.io, K6.io, Jest, Enzyme, New Relic, RESTful APIs, Bootstrap, Firebase, Webpack, Babel, Redis, Docker, NGINX, Heroku, Mocha, Chai

For fun away from work, I enjoy drumming, singing, hiking, running, tennis, and basketball.
