Stack

I've used countless tools and platforms throughout my career so far. These are some of them:

I started using React in 2016. The framework was starting to get traction when we decided to start using it in one of our projects. At that time I was really inexperienced, so I was writing React in plain javascript and not JSX 🤦

Yes, this means I was using React.createElement(...) for E V E R Y T H I N G

At that time we were using the community version of Kendo UI for several web UI components. This was their jQuery implementation because they didn't have the components ported for React yet! So I had to write React wrappers over those jQuery components on my own which made me learn a lot about the version of React that we were using.

After that I discovered the JSX syntax and ported the whole codebase. Later on I discovered the TSX syntax and ported everything again!

Besides from using it in almost every project, you can check out a couple of component implementations in my GitHub: A Google Maps search component and a Typeahead suggestions dropdown!
