I'm a software engineer with about a years worth of experience. My first 6 months I spent building an ASP.NET MVC web application from scratch. This last 6 months I've been building Angular directives to distribute to other angular applications. Directives I've built encapsulate Security and the necessary API calls to make it very basic for other application teams to implement an element level directive.
I learn new technologies through books, conferences, and pluralsight.
