Hunter Perrin

The people who know me know my passion for code. My father gave me a computer when I was eight years old. Within a year, I had made it my goal to learn how to make it do what I wanted it to. That was the beginning of my immersion into coding. I didn't even realize until my first programming class in high school that I could make a living by writing code.

Coding is more than a career for me. Coding is a hobby, a passion, and a living. They say when you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. When computers were first being developed, they were called the universal machine. So when you have a universal machine, maybe every problem really is solvable.

Things I Can Do

I'm an expert in JavaScript/ECMAScript (for the browser and for Node.js), HTML, and CSS. I have been using Git in team based environments for 12 years, and I used Perforce at Google for 1 year. I'm proficient in Electron, PHP, Bash scripting, and SQL. I have a working knowledge of Java.

I've used a number of frontend and backend libraries. I'm proficient in Express, React, Svelte, SvelteKit, Electron, SMUI (my own library), and Nymph.js (my own library).

I specialize in web technologies, and have a strong understanding of the systems upon which they are built, such as HTTP/HTTPS, TCP/UDP, and IP. I have a strong background in database architecture, RESTful design, and data structures.

• JavaScript, Node.js
• PHP, SQL
• Writing API docs
• Git, Mercurial, Perforce

Open Source Projects

My passion for open source led me to start SciActive. It is the name under which most of my copyrighted code is held. Here are just a few examples of the projects I started and maintain.

Svelte Material UI

SMUI is a Material UI library for Svelte. It is one of the most popular UI libraries available for Svelte. In addition to implementing Google's MDC-Web library, I have made multiple additional complex UI elements.

Nymph.js

Nymph.js is an object relational mapper for Node.js, designed to bring all the power of database querying to the client side. From the browser, Nymph allows you to essentially write DB queries, save data objects to the backend, and run server side methods on your data objects, all while providing powerful access control.

PNotify

PNotify is a notification library for JavaScript. It can show in browser notifications, or Web Notifications that fallback to in browser. It has become a quite popular solution in the open source community, due to its modularity, beauty, and reliability.
