About

I'm a web developer with 10 years of experience in front- and back- end technologies. I specialize in the "front of the front end", where I enjoy working on design systems, progressive enhancement, semantic HTML, large-scale and axiomatic CSS, and performance. I focus in accessibility, and I am CPACC-certified.

I also enjoy technical writing. You can find samples of my writing on my blog. I developed a design system for the Better Business Bureau called Better Design System, and I wrote all of the accompanying documentation.
