About
Who are you?
I'm Caleb Evans, a web developer from Carlsbad, California with many passions: programming, spending time with family and friends, watching (and quoting) movies, trampolining, and eating quality pizza.
What do you do?
Since 2010, I've been programming for work, for school, and for fun. My most prominent work includes a plethora of web apps and useful tools, many of which were created to automate what I grew tired of doing manually. Others I created simply for fun. With a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science under my belt, I aim to build apps that are enjoyable, functional, and adhere to best practices.
Why do you code?
Besides the fact that I thoroughly enjoy programming, I make it my aim to code for Christ, who has walked with me as my Lord, my Friend, and my Savior. I believe the work of my hands glorifies God through the creativity I express, and ultimately, through the lives enriched by my projects.
How many languages do you speak?
I am fluent in HTML5, CSS/Sass, and JavaScript/Node, and have recently immersed myself in TypeScript. I'm also well-versed in Python, and I fiddle with Bash regularly in an effort to improve my development workflow.
What is your favorite language?
If I could choose only one, my favorite language would definitely be TypeScript because of how many bugs it saves me from every time I write in it. Plus, I thoroughly enjoy working with the ES6 language features like promises, destructuring, and arrow functions.
What is your code editor of choice?
For years, I used Atom, but nowadays, I use VS Code for its powerful feature set, excellent TypeScript support, and better performance on M1 Macs. You can view my configuration for both editors at my public dotfiles repository.
Tabs or spaces?
That depends. In VS Code (with the "Sticky Tab Stops" setting enabled), spaces behave the same as tabs when used as indentation, so I generally conform to the convention of whichever language I'm writing in.
What's the story behind your project icons?
I actually made them myself; each icon is written in pure SVG markup.
