Johnny B.

Hey! I am Johnny B. 🙏
(Actually, my Romanian friends call me Ionică, which in English is basically: Johnny).
...and I 💖 emojis!

I started coding around 2010, starting with simple static websites, WordPress applications, and then tried Node.js for the first name around 2012. Since then, I have been working with Node.js. I like it a lot.

Currently, I do the best in:

★ Node.js 🚀
​ ​ ☆ Command line tools
​ ​ ☆ Express.js
​ ​ ☆ Passport
​ ​ ☆ Raw/minimal code, without frameworks (e.g. simple HTTP server)
​ ​ ☆ Using npm
​ ​ ☆ Creating npm packages for Node.js (and for the front-end as well)
​ ​ ☆ Scraping the web
​ ​ ☆ Automation of repetitive tasks
​ ​ ☆ Image processing
★ JavaScript ✨
​ ​ ☆ Creating and importing libraries
​ ​ ☆ jQuery (creating plugins, using them etc)
​ ​ ☆ Scraping
​ ​ ☆ Automation of repetitive tasks
​ ​ ☆ Publishing npm packages
​ ​ ☆ SVG (SVG.js, d3.js)
★ HTML & CSS 🎨
​ ​ ☆ Fixing CSS quick issues
​ ​ ☆ Implementing mockups
​ ​ ☆ Making the page responsive
​ ​ ☆ SEO tips & tricks
★ Command line 💻
​ ​ ☆ Shortcut tips
​ ​ ☆ Creating command line tools
​ ​ ☆ Using VIM & Tmux
★ Code Review 👀
​ ​ ☆ I do code review offline, for Node.js, JavaScript, eventually CSS.
​ ​ ☆ Can be done in a live session as well.
​ ​ ☆ Security checks
​ ​ ☆ I point things that can be done in a better way
★ Using Git & GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket etc. 😸
​ ​ ☆ Introduction to how Git works
​ ​ ☆ Using Git hosting services (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket etc)
​ ​ ☆ Top Git commands
​ ​ ☆ Shortcuts

If I can help, I will definitely do it, as long your app is not promoting things that tend to be potentially immoral. For example, I'm happy to help you build an e-shop, but I will probably not build an e-shop designed specifically for selling wine since I am against the use of alcohol for drinking.

Why you can trust me:

★ I am a vegetarian. I have never eaten meat. 🍍🥑🥗
★ I have never drunk wine, beer, etc. Water is the best. 💧
★ I work for 6 days, and I rest on the 7th day. That's why I am not available on Saturdays (specifically between Friday's sunset and Saturday's sunset, my location at the time—you can my timezone a little bit below). 🙏
★ I sleep between 9:18 PM and 4:42 AM. Depending on your timezone I can wake up earlier if you book a session with me. 💤
★ I am a musician (pianist and organist). 🎹
★ I use VIM on macOS and Linux. 🐧🍏
