Marc D. Bodley is a passionate user experience engineer and a jack-of-all-trades developer, with over 8 years experience with JavaScript and frontend technology. He is excited to see JavaScript being adopted as more of a mainstream development language and not just an accessory to development. He is equally excited to see the structure and thought process of more conventional, strongly typed languages being applied to JavaScript, to bring order to what is potentially a large and disorganized JS-driven code base. He has worked on large- and small-scale applications for a range of organizations, from Belk.com to start-up style data-heavy applications. He continues to look for, learn ,and enforce JavaScript and programming practices, and was grateful to be a contributor to this effort.
