Web Development

I love building websites. Two of my favorite (and most successful) side projects were websites that I built, scaled, and sold from scratch. I've done web development at several tech companies and am now a full stack web engineer at Facebook.

My Web Development blog posts cover a wide range of topics, from performance to security to building web games. My most popular ones include:
