👋 Hello! My name is Jay Rogers.

About me

I’m a DevOps engineer who accidentally ended up in application & user-experience design. 🤖🎨

What I am working on now

In 2011, my friend @danpastori and I started a software development agency called 521 Dimensions. We kept the company to just us two. This forced us to learn how to develop software very efficiently.

We took the experience that we gained in 521 Dimensions and created a blog called Server Side Up. Our mission is to help other developers create quality software using open-source tools.

My Next Release

📕 The Ultimate Guide To Building APIs & SPAs

We're releasing a book on how we structure our software for web & mobile apps. Since we only have a two person team, we need our development processs to be quick & easy!

We were able to figure out a way to:

• Build a Laravel JSON API
• Create a Vue.js web front-end
• Generate iOS and Android Apps with CapacitorJS
• All from the same codebase 😱
