Hi there! I'm Joel Brubaker
I'm a Technical Project Lead with Little Bear Labs. I work with growth-stage startups to ship code and scale teams.
Full Stack Engineer
Expertise Across User Interfaces, Web Servers, Data and Cloud
My problem-solving capabilities extend across every layer of the tech stack
User Interfaces
I'm very familiar with reactive component frameworks such as Vue.js and React. I'm also comfortable switching between SASS stylesheets, styled components or Tailwind.css.
Web Servers & APIs
I can leverage a full-featured framework such as Laravel, a highly performant binary written in Go, or a frontend-aligned stack in Node.js and Typescript to build RESTful or gRPC endpoints.
Databases & Data Pipelines
I've worked extensively with SQL databases and ORMs. When performance matters, I know how to eject from abstractions to use raw joins, sub queries, views and complex selects.
Kubernetes & Cloud Platforms
I love working with Docker and Kubernetes. Google Cloud is my platform of choice, but I'm no stranger to AWS. And when a simple linux box will do, that's good enough for me.
If you are looking for advice, or have a great opportunity to share, feel free to reach out.
