Elton is a full-stack web developer—specializing in the front end. An advocate of clean, concise, and scalable code, Elton develops with a focus on performance. A particular feather in his cap was building a full-featured web conferencing system with a real-time whiteboard, document sharing, chat, recording, and more. He was especially proud of it because it was early on in his career (2010), and he learned how to build it on his own.
