I remember when Angular.js and Boostrap hit the UI scene and I thought- wow this is going to make progress go lightyears faster! Ultimately even MVC with extensive databinding in custom tags became too vanilla for anyone and is now forgotten as a real UI architecture. Ultimately any UI dev needs to be comfortable on with all tools, whether it's deciding React Native the clean plugins for iOS or Next.js for structuring web architecture. Or Angular just because most of your team came from Google and has the strong tendency for explicit Type and class namespaces for team fluency.

I've weaved in and out of design, development, and architecture at leading e-commerce giants around the San Francisco Bay area. I've worked with all the cool languages + frameworks - Next.js/ React, Node, Angular / TypeScript, D3, some blockchain development on the Solana blockchain, etc.

For the last two years my focus has been on cross training in the security space and moving into more of a device security / systems engineer role. I spend a an inordinate amount of time researching penetration testing and research. Wifi, RF, and Automotive hacking mostly. When I find time I want to make a custom LED dashboard for my Ducati using Canbus data and layout based on the newer models.
