Jesse Warden — Software Engineer
I write code, front end and back-end, and like deploying it on AWS. Software Developer for 20+ years, and still love it. Freelanced, worked with startups, attempted my own software products, ran a consulting shop with some partners, consulted at large enterprises with Accenture & Capital One, and now write code at Timmons. Career has mostly been all about building UI's. Started with Director and Lingo for desktop and CD-ROM's. First job, I transitioned over to Flash and ActionScript to make working with designers easier as software transitioned to the web. As my programming skills grew, I transitioned to Flex to take on larger software projects. When Flash Player died because of the iPhone, I transitioned to JavaScript and Backbone, then Angular, then React, and now Elm. I also started doing more back-end API and BFF work using Node.js. Since 2016 I've been focused on Functional Programming and serverless using AWS. Around 2019, I've been learning CICD and taking more responsibility managing my own pipelines for delivering UI and API code. I love the conference circuit and continue to love speaking all around the world at various user groups, conferences, and workshops. Speaking about tech you are passionate about in front of large, eager groups of strangers is intoxicating. I always try to blog my learning experiences in hopes it'll help others learn it faster and easier than I did at https://jessewarden.com. I also like creating YouTube videos on my channel https://www.youtube.com/c/JesseWarden to help people learn both beginner and advanced programming... but mostly to make them laugh. Outside of tech, I alternate between Bodybuilding, Powerlifting, Parkour, Backpacking, and riding motorcycles.
