SAM MCCALL
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
Who Am I?
I’m Sam McCall, a software developer with a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics.
I have always approached coding and development as a way of solving problems. I started coding in 2009, learning HTML on my small Netbook in order to create a custom theme for my LiveJournal page.
Since then I have graduated from simple HTML to a variety of tools and frameworks, but the same concept of problem solving has followed me through the years. If you take a look at my sampling of projects below, you’ll find they were all created to solve a specific problem.
My language of choice is Javascript. I also have experience in Python and Swift. I'm a quick learner when it comes to interesting languages and frameworks to solve whatever problem I'm faced with.
Front-End
Back-End
- Build efficient and algorithm-driven back-end servers in Javascript using Node.js
- Make RESTful API calls using axios, mongoose, and express to manipulate JSON data
- Connect applications to back-end databases using MongoDB
Project Management
- Manage version control for project repositories with Git using best practices
- Implement unit tests using testing frameworks like Mocha and Chai
- Stay connected with both remote and onsite staff with Slack, Skype, and Zoom
