American based in Thailand crafting user-friendly interactive experiences built on novel tooling and best practices.
My name is Tex, and I'm a Full-Stack Developer and Mentor. During over 15 years in software, I've filled roles from person #3 at a startup to a consultant for Salesforce. I've successfully collaborated 100% remotely since 2010. Between work and open source, I've contributed code in at least 20 programming languages. The past five years, I discovered my passion educating small teams.
Ever since its launch, GitHub has propelled my development: including collaborating on a MVC framework, co-maintaining an IDE language service, and hosting an international online meetup.
Open source puts into practice every facet of engineering: from evolving tools, conventions, and patterns to workflows, communication, and emotional intelligence. In the upcoming year, I plan to develop educational courses, VS Code extensions, and a multi-platform app for travelers.
Away from the screen, I strive to push myself both physically and psychologically. For many years, I've trained yoga, HIIT, Muay Thai, and freediving for fitness and self-discipline. And having visited dozens of countries, living long-term in Mexico and Indonesia, and speaking their languages in degrees, cultural immersion and exploring nature broadens my perspective too.
