David Calhoun
Front-end developer and photographer.
Wanting to relocate (US-based, temporarily in Charleston, SC).
I have been passionate about the web since I was in high school building websites for my personal interests. Now I've built it into a career! And even in my spare time I find myself tinkering around with side projects, and finding a fitting medium for their expression through the web.
I've found that most things can be expressed through this medium, like an artists' canvas. Even as I find myself learning more and branching out into new interests such as photography, my core set of front-end skills has always come in very handy.
Skills
- Frontend: JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, React.js, Webpack and Rollup, Jest, React Testing Library, Material-UI, Storybook
- Backend: Node.js, Postgres, Redis

Notable Projects
- react-hover-slideshow - built as an interactive component for my photography website, and also a way to wrap my head around React Hooks.
- jstoxml [~80k downloads per month] - helper to convert JSON to XML for RSS, podcast feeds, AMP, etc. This has turned out to be my most widely-used code!
- tle.js - a helper for plotting in-space satellite positions and tracks. Powers my side project Track That Satellite.
- little-time - frustrated by the filesize of moment.js, I set out to create this alternative, a tiny time formatter
