Well Hello There, Adventurer!
I'm Rick Knowlton:
Reverse Engineer|
I'm a software engineer, designer, and dreamer just trying to make the web a better place.
ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Rick and I’ve had a curiosity for how things work for as long as I can remember. While I’m very good at breaking things, I’m a little better at putting them back together, making them work faster and more efficient than before.
If there is one thing that drives me as a developer, it’s design; the user experience is paramount. Some may call me a bit of a perfectionist, but I wear that as a badge of honor. I feel a little bit of extra effort and elbow grease goes a long way.
This portfolio site is perhaps a good example of that. I built it from scratch and used a blend of technologies to get to the end result. React, Redux, Node, JSX, SASS and a variety of packages were all used in production, but also plain old vanilla JavaScript and HTML (which can’t go unmentioned). I am a constant learner and am always experimenting and tinkering with the newest technologies and frameworks. It’s not just a hobby - it’s a passion.
Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:
- JavaScript
- TypeScript
- React
- Firebase
- Node.js
- WordPress
