ABOUT ME
Front-end developer with decades of experience
Front-end developer with decades of experience

Hello! I specialize in responsive, inclusive user interfaces using semantic HTML, CSS focused on the cascade, and component-based Javascript. I incorporate thoughtful user experiences with the following principles: accessibility, progressive enhancement, SEO and fast performance. I enjoy working closely with designers to create systematic, component based designs, define design patterns, and produce style guides. I am regularly working to improve my experience, whether on the full-stack of technology or the front-end.
