ChronSyn - Overview

Hi! 👋

I'm Scott, a full stack developer that specialises in Javascript and Typescript.

My path through technology

This is a timeline of the main technologies I've used over the years. Those marked as 'commercial' were used in both commercial and non-commercial projects, while those marked as non-commercial were only used in personal/non-commercial projects.

  • Delphi (2006 - 2010, non-commercial)
  • Delphi Firemonkey (2010 - 2013, non-commercial)
  • JQuery (2014 - 2016, commercial)
  • Node, Express (2014 - Present, commercial)
  • Socket.io (2014 - 2018, commercial)
  • AngularJS (v1) (2016 - 2017, non-commercial)
  • Angular (v2 - v6) (2017 - 2018, non-commercial)
  • Typescript, React, MobX, React Native, Expo (2018 - Present, commercial)
  • Docker (2018 - present, commercial)
  • C# (2019 - 2020, commercial)
  • Apollo Server + Client (2019 - 2023, commercial)
  • NextJS (2021 - Present, commercial)
  • Supabase (2021 - Present, commercial)
  • Hasura (2022 - 2023, non-commercial)
  • Liquid templating (2025 - Present, commercial)

Summary

  • I created Quicache (pronounced Key-cache, or Kwi-cache [as in Quick-cache] -- either is fine), a memory-based JS key-value data cache
  • I created JS-ThemeGen, a Javascript library for quickly generating colour shades
  • I created TSOpenLDB, a library for interacting with the UK National Rail Open LDB staff API
  • I created With-Env-Config, a small CLI to enable automatically append env variables to your env via the terminal (using appropriate prefixes for specific frameworks)
  • I've worked on a large number of commercial React and React Native projects for clients across the world in a number of different industries

Most people know me as a coder, but I've also got 20 years experience with non-code related IT stuff. Yes, I can probably fix your computer.

Awesome tools I use

  • Supabase - An open-source alternative to Firebase
  • Expo - A framework for developing, building, and deploying React Native applications
  • Storybook - A tool to build, test, and document UI components

So many repos!

Many of my repos are forks of useful projects. I don't use all of them, but I like to keep a copy of projects that I think might be worth looking into in future.
