About the Author

Mike Rourke has been writing code for over a decade. He got his start creating Microsoft Access applications using VBA and decided he wanted to work with JavaScript full-time after building a Mozilla Firefox extension. He has a B.S. in mechanical engineering technology and worked primarily in product design/manufacturing engineering roles before starting a career as a software engineer in 2017. Currently, he works for a Chicago-based consulting company and is focused primarily on frontend JavaScript development. When's he not writing code, he's out in the woods camping with his wolf brothers.
