<p>I'm passionate about doing work that makes a positive difference in the world. It doesn't need to be as glamorous as curing cancer or something like that, but it does need to be genuinely valuable. It needs to solve real problems and make people's lives better. Too many businesses, teams, etc. really only exist to make money; I think that's a shame, and I think we can do better.</p>

<p>Track Your Hours helps pre-licensed mental health
professionals track their experience hours and ensure they stay
on track to meet state requirements and receive their license.</p>
<p>I worked with a small team of developers to rewrite and
enhance a legacy PHP application using Rails 7 and Ruby 3.</p>
<p>We used Rails for the full-stack with <a href="https://hotwired.dev/" target="_blank">Hotwire</a>
on the front-end. The development experience with Hotwire was
excellent and, in our opinion, it gave us all the functionality we needed to
create a modern, usable interface with very little JavaScript
and a lot less front-end code.</p>
<p>The project included writing a licensure
requirements engine that allowed application admins to model
license requirements for various states and licenses with
minimal to no code changes.</p>

<h3>JavaScript SPAs</h3>
<p>I’ve done quite a bit of JavaScript development in the past,
and I'm comfortable doing it when I need to, but it's not my
preference and it's definitely not where I'm strongest.
I prefer spending most of my time on back-end development; I enjoy
and I don't mind writing a little JavaScript when
needed, but full blown JavaScript SPAs aren't a good fit for me.
They have a tendency to burn me out. Generally, I prefer back-end development; I enjoy
it more and I feel like I have more natural aptitude
and value to contribute in that area. If I can work in a stack with
simple client-side tooling like <a href="https://hotwired.dev/">Hotwire</a>,
even better.</p>
