About me

I’m a front-end developer with 8 years of development experience, and 11 years of experience in hands-on technology roles. I love the challenge of learning new coding languages, while staying up-to-date with the ones I’m comfortable with. I’m passionate about accessibility, design and user experience. My hobbies include video games, reading, traveling, puns, tea, sweet snacks, and enjoying well-crafted beer.
