Jorge Rafael Rodriguez
web developer
tl;dr
Bay Area-based senior web dev with experience across the stack, specializing in the Front End. I've worked extensively with JavaScript both on the server and client, specifically using Node.js and frameworks including React, Redux, and Backbone.
While not staring intently at a computer screen I enjoy such pursuits as a good book, a good hike, and more recently, a day sailing out on the bay.
The Details
What I Do
I've helped companies convert mission critical web-based reading experiences from PDF and Adobe Flash to a responsive HTML5-based solution using Backbone.js and SVG/JPEG content, prototyped and deployed a desktop application written using web technologies, and built the interface for a learning resource management system from the ground up using the cutting edge Front End technologies.
Most recently, I’ve shipped and maintained an isomorphic React/Redux rewrite of a major audio platform’s website, bringing the company to the cutting edge of both Front End and web audio streaming technology.
MY Story
Trained as a research scientist, I first became interested in programming while working on computational research projects in fields ranging from solar seismology to computational biology. While teaching abroad, I began exploring web development and applying my programming skills to a wider range of problems. As a web development professional, I am always looking for new and interesting ways to apply the skills I’ve mastered, and for opportunities to learn the latest tech.
MY Mission
I'm happiest when solving problems and creating something that helps people, works well and looks sharp. I also love working with people who are passionate, intelligent, and challenge me to be at the top of my game.
