ABOUT ME
Web Developer and Music Snob
Web Developer and Music Snob
Hi. My name is Shawn. I am a self-taught Front End Developer who has been working in the industry since 2011. I am currently focused primarily on React and Typescript with an eye toward unit testing, performance, and delivering quality user experiences.
When not working, I am usually chasing after my two children, walking a sweet old Labrador, spending time with my wife, mowing the lawn, or on the off-chance I have a spare few minutes, playing video games.
