  • Jun 2013 - Present

  I create the client-side experience for Web-based applications and responsive websites. My primary focus is front-end implementation, but I also have significant background in exploration, wireframing and visual design. I live and breathe JavaScript, striving to truly understand the core language and exercise it through both vanilla development and via popular libraries such as React, Vue or jQuery (although I’m trying to migrate away from jQuery as much as I can). I prefer to run my code through TypeScript and can construct a build system in Webpack, Gulp, Grunt, or even by hand if I really had to. I’ve also written CSS and HTML nearly every day for more than ten years and can convert virtually any design to code. Finally, I am a trained designer, with nearly ten years of experience in print design prior to my transition to front-end development; as a result, I care about how the end result looks and behaves. I've done some back-end as well. I can create a WordPress theme with almost any capability a marketing site might require. After spending hundreds of hours with Ruby on Rails I fully understand the fundamentals of MVC architecture. I've even configured a server or two. Show less
