Adam Tate

Hi, my name is Adam Tate.

The developer you've been looking for.

About Me

I started making websites 20 years ago. Eventually, my passion turned into my professional journey. It has been based in adapting quickly to a multitude of languages, environments, and interpersonal relations. I've worked on large teams, small groups and solo developed. I've been tasked with internationalization, accessability, and performance while working on white labeled products in demanding roles and delivering results.

Work History

I have code running on production environments using PHP, Drupal, Adobe ColdFusion, JavaScript, TypeScript, Angular, React, Automated Testing and HLS Adaptive Video currently. A continued usage of tools like GitHub, GitHub Actions, Bootstrap, Material UI, TailWind, VS Code, Postman and Jest. My knowledge isn't only based on what I can do with tools I choose, but I've maintained and updated legacy systems as well in Flash Video Player, Knockout, and AngularJS.

Resume

Websites aren't my only desire though. My degree is in Software Engineering, not just website development. Java was my baseline language in school. I've used that to make games for multiple Ludum Dares. Functional programming languages, especially Haskell, are a personal favorite of mine. Script languages and Excel are probably the unsung heroes I take for granted.
