I have been working in an almost pure JavaScript environment since 2011, focusing on NodeJS backends and EmberJS for the frontend. My first Ember app went into production in December 2011 which was before Ember 1.0 was even released, so you could say that we have been doing Ember since the beginning.
I'm a developer at https://simplabs.com and a member of the Ember Core Learning Team.
I have a Computer Science degree and have always specialised in application architecture, knowing how to structure apps so that you can have the most performant and productive code base.
