About

My name is JC Brand and I'm a freelance software developer and consultant.

I'm the author of converse.js, a popular, web-based chat client, as well as a maintainer of strophe.js, the well-known Javascript XMPP library. I can help you integrate chat and message streaming features into your website or intranet.

I'm a maintainer and developer of Patternslib, a front-end library that enables designers to create rich, interactive prototypes without having to know or write any Javascript.

I also work in Python, mostly on the Plone content management system and on the Plone Intranet project.
