Hi. I'm Elmar @elmargasimov 🤟
Short Bio
I'm a software engineer with more than 10 years of experience in a variety of domains, but focused predominantly on JavaScript. I founded JamStack Labs to help make the web faster. For the past few years, I've focused on high-load React and React Native applications, building serverless applications, distributed systems, and platform development - tinkering with infrastructure, all things containers and Cloud Native.
