Work History

Q: Hey! I thought you worked as a Back End data architect?

The Browser is the new Back End, for many of us.

So much of what we used to code on the back end is now being written in the browser client! In that respect, Back End role hasn't changed, as much as where the functionality is deployed to.

Q: No more back ends?

No-Ops is the new Dev-Ops.

Back Ends exist as services, now. Maintaining your own back ends is so 2017!

The back ends I used to slave over for years at a time? Now anyone can now get that functionality for practially free, and effortlessly too.

I use Google's Firebase for virtually everything, but there are other services within AWS, or similar offerings.

If you're still working with custom-built and self maintained Back Ends:

Q: Since when did you acquire Front End skills?

Q: So. How good are you, then?

Sigh. Depends on who you compare me to. I'm definitely producing good, solid work in this new "Full Stack" world.

The guys I run with are still faster/smarter/younger than I am. But I'm holding up OK under the pressure. And if I'm not the best in the group, it's my own dang fault for hanging out with some of the smartest guys in that world.
