Justin Scherer has been professionally developing JavaScript applications for over 10 years. On top of this, he has worked in a variety of fields, ranging from embedded systems to high-performance cluster applications. Utilizing JavaScript to cluster simulation models, write RFID tracking systems, and even to hook Fortran code together, Justin brought JavaScript to Argonne National Laboratory as a way of quickly prototyping and building out ideas.
Justin then went on to work for an e-learning start-up and lead the frontend development team. He currently works for a large financial institution, where he is leading the charge on developing a highly performant frontend and middleware through the use of JavaScript.
During his time off, he has a handful of hobbies, including but not limited to playing the piano, going to concerts, repairing watches, reading, and spending time with his wife. He enjoys his time with his wife and their cat and dog. His mind is constantly wandering to new areas where technology, especially web technology, could prove useful.
