Why hire me?
- You suck at CSS.
- You hate CSS.
- You don't have time for CSS.
- All of the above.
Luckily for you, I love CSS. I do damn good work, and I give a damn about the projects I'm responsible for and people I work with. It all comes down to integrity. You can train someone to be really good at coding or whatever, but you can't teach them accountability, commitment, or teamwork.

Today's UI demands need my expert CSS skills
I've worked in a variety of environments, from small businesses to a Fortune 500 company.
The following list highlights my coding strengths:
- Fluid/responsive UIs
- Adaptive UIs
- CSS animations and transitions
- Accessibility
/* TODO */ See my résumé for the scope of my experience.
How I do my CSS
- Sass (SCSS preferred)
- A combination of BEM, SMACSS, and atomic approaches
- Patterns for reusability and consistent visuals

What about JavaScript?
Weeeeeeell...I suck at JavaScript.
About 11 years ago I became interested in it. I tried several online tutorials, but none of them stuck with me. Since then I have dabbled in JavaScript to get better at it, but I'm still at a beginner's-plus level.
I'm open to learning more, but I don't have much interest in becoming a JavaScript expert. What I do enjoy is using JavaScript with CSS to enhance UIs. If designed and executed well, JavaScript and CSS can increase the user's enjoyment of a UI without being intrusive or annoying.
/* TODO */ Feel free to review the JavaScript I wrote for this site. If we connect, you can tell me how much it sucks. I'd love a chance to talk shop and learn from my mistakes.
Ready to hire me?
If not, how about a three-minute, no-commitment phone call to see if you at least like my voice? Send me a connection request or message on LinkedIn, and we can start a conversation (if you don't seem like a weirdo).
Thanks for checking this out.
