Jebin B V

Jebin B V is fond of JavaScript and anything related to JavaScript excites him. He is a front-end developer who has experience of full-stack development and also with stacks such as LAMP. Right from the beginning of his career, he has worked as a founding engineer for various startups. Initially, he started his career as a PHP developer where he developed Web applications using PHP and its frameworks such as YII, Zend, Symphony, and WordPress. Later, he saw the growing potential of JavaScript and decided to be a JavaScript developer. He self-taught JavaScript and its concepts, with which he moved to work as a full-time JavaScript developer for a revolutionary big data product called DataRPM. When he was a part of DataRPM, he developed a significant part of the product that helped the product to grow rapidly. At DataRPM, he nourished himself to be a challengeable JavaScript developer who can build a whole product all alone. In a short period, he learned and mastered JavaScript's quirks and solved many problems to scale the product. With JavaScript, he also learned how to design modules using proper design patterns, structuring the codebase, and maintaining the code discipline. Along with development, he loves to teach. He always strives to share knowledge. Whenever he finds a solution to a peculiar problem, he calls up the team to let them know how he solved it. Not a single day of his life goes by without reading, and the major part of his reading is about JavaScript and its ecosystem. The routine of his professional life is reading about code, writing code, and teaching to code better. Carrying all these experiences, he moved to another startup where he built, all alone, the web version of the instant messaging application, Avaamo. The web version was developed and launched in less than three months, which is now consumed by all premium users, and there are also quite a few firms who run their businesses in Avaamo Web. Other than JavaScript, the only other thing he is very passionate about is bodybuilding. He does weight training and calisthenics on his preferable schedules. He is very concerned about pollution and thus he commutes by bicycle to work every day. He has a very good sense of innovation and user experience, which is driving him to build products that can solve day-to-day problems, again using JavaScript and open source tools and frameworks such as MeteorJS.
