Senior Front End Developer

About Me

I'm a front end software developer with more than six years of experience transforming complex designs and feature specs into pixel-perfect web experiences. I enjoy working at the forefront of technology and am currently excited about React and the waves it's making on the web, mobile apps, and in headless commerce.

Working with a number of high profile clients, I take part in the entire lifecycle of a project from planning to execution to launch and maintenance. I'm passionate about design and clean code, and tend to view myself as a perfectionist because I believe that small details make a lasting impression on users.
