Brian Abbott
Full Stack Developer
Introduction
My name is Brian Abbott. I am a software developer experienced in Node.js, Express.js, React.js, WordPress, native Android Development with Kotlin, and MySQL/MariaDB.
Biography
I was born in Savannah, GA in 1987. I learned to play classic rock, jam band and blues music by ear. I studied classical and jazz guitar at The University of Alabama. I dropped out two semesters before graduation. In 2020 I moved to Asheville, North Carolina.
Work
I prototyped the initial iteration of LiftStation.cloud from 2020 - 2022. This software is used by Consolidated Utilities, Inc. to prepare water quality reports for the Environmental Protection Division (EPD). I prototyped the Technician Android app, which has a functional offline mode. I also did a decent job on the backend. The backend uses excel4node to generate Excel reports which are handed to the EPD. The server uses Express.js and the database used is MariaDB. I normalized the database and did almost everything except for portions of the React app and all of the iOS Technician app.
I'm lucky to know a couple nice exceptional people who are good at coding which is difficult to learn. I am looking forward to finishing this software and trying to see if there is a market for it.
Miscellaneous
I have a Golden Retriever puppy named Lee who is old. He frequently joins me on runs.
