Bio
Bryce Baril
Working with Trevor is a lot like working with an encyclopedia of arcane performance knowledge at your fingertips. There is a reason we would make sure he was involved with all of our customers (or our own!) hardest and most critical software problems, especially when performance was on the line. It was common for him to get performance improvements in the tens-of-thousands of percent range. He is passionate about computers and loves to talk about arcana, and is happy to teach what he knows. Trevor is that engineer that causes other engineers to say "I work here because the team is so amazing." At NodeSource we loved to learn from each other, and Trevor always had a lot to teach.

To say Trevor is enthusiastic about web development is an understatement. He impressed me from our first water-cooler conversation. Unlike most other webdevs I've worked with, Trevor had actually _read_ the HTML RFC -- he had it bookmarked! For Trevor even the intricacies of browser compatibility was bread and butter. Our after-hours _solving-the-world's-problems_ sessions spawned a simple jQuery-based technique of web development that enabled true MVC separation of the web UI and business logic. Nerdvana! Coding became fun again. With a simple JSON interface between us, I could now concentrate solely on business logic while Trevor hammered the DOM into dynamic UX. No soapy XML RPC, no marshaling of Beans, no template framework or intermingling HTML to build lists or tables, just a simple HTML request and a JSON response. As a proof of concept Trevor turned the department's customer-facing web-app kludge into an intuitive and responsive data-driven dashboard that loaded 6-10 times faster and required a fraction of the code. Relentless about clean adherence to XHTML/CSS standards, Trevor delivered sturdy applications with Google-fast page loads. If he isn't already, I expect Trevor to quickly become one of the premier UI guys in the industry.
