About Me
As a Front-End Web Developer, I specialize in creating the responsive front-end of websites, providing an interface to let users easily communicate with complex back-end technologies and thus helping my clients achieve their goals. I'm mainly focused on responsive layouts, HTML5, CSS3, SASS, JavaScript, Vue, Single Page Applications (SPAs), Bootstrap, and jQuery. I have been excited about web development since I landed my first job in the industry, and the constant change in technology keeps me as invigorated as the day I started. I love working collaboratively and I'm especially interested in working with organizations that have a strong desire to create great user experiences.
