I call myself a UX Developer and Front-End Designer because I’m the sort of hybrid developer/designer that specializes on the front of the front. I have over 20 years of web building experience and still love making web things! I’m naturally half creative, half technical, and really enjoy thinking about the intersection of interface and implementation.
Though my background is based on doing a code, my ultimate values are helping teams solve problems both customer-facing (the stuff that appears in the web browser) and behind the scenes (how that stuff gets into the web browser).
I aim to build responsibly, which means focusing on progressive enhancement, accessibility, web performance, and usability.
