Hello, I`m Joel Jucá! I’m a Brazilian software engineer with a passion for web development. I`ve been in the industry since 2005, acting both in front-end and back-end positions, using multiple programming languages and tools (eg.: Drupal, Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and Phoenix, to name a few). I also have plenty of experience as a remote developer - working mostly remotely since 2015, for both American and European companies. My programming languages are Bash, Elixir, JavaScript, PHP, and Ruby. Lately, I`ve been mostly focused on JavaScript, both on Node.js (Express, Koa, etc.) and browsers (both raw JS and React). In the past, I’ve also worked on projects using jQuery and AngularJS in the front-end, with WordPress, CodeIgniter, and/or Drupal in the back-end. I love open source. My GitHub contains some of my projects, generally focused on CS education. Whenever possible/reasonable, I tend to use the same remote-friendly distributed-first management techniques in commercial/proprietary projects. ©

I`m a Technology Evangelist for CData Software. I moved into this role after working as a developer for the company for a little over two years. We offer what I consider to be the best standards-based drivers on the market for connecting to your data as if it were a relational database (we essentially translate SQL queries into the appropriate request for the data source and return the response as a table). When I`m not working, I`m at home with my wife, son, daughter, and dog, playing with LEGOs and Paw Patrol, making raspberries, and reading books; or playing board/video games with my friends. ©

I`m web developer, and I like to help people. ©
