My Expertise

Frontend Engineering

I focus heavily on frontend development, javascript, wep apps, static site generators, and UI component libraries.

I love creating the building blocks and then putting them together to create a finished product.

Problem Solving

I have a highly analytical personality with a hunger for solving problems. I make an effort not to let common-knowledge slow me down and focus on the task at hand.

UI Design Systems

I have a strong grasp of design system components, colors, and theming. I fully understand how to generate color scales with consistent contrast accross themes and palettes, which is rare in the industry.

I've developed a good eye for proportion, spacing, and common design patterns through years of experience.

Team Work

I'm all about growing and learning together. I love to learn from peers and colleagues and am happy to share what I know. I'm patient and take time to listen to what others have to say. I try to maintain a good sense of humor and stay light on my feet.
