I like to move a bit slower and fix things. A11Y web dev. You might have read my stuff or seen me speak but that was a long time ago. New England dad.

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.

I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.

I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.

Boosts are appreciated. πŸ™

I recently joined the board of trustees for my town library because I wanted to serve in my community, away from politics. That was a adorable notion.

I am available for new contract work.

I have 20+ years 😩 experience in web design and development and I’m still learning. I have written courses and books that have influenced interface design across the industry. I love prototyping, writing documentation, creative coding, and I do everything with accessibility and inclusion in mind.

I have worked remotely since long before the pandemic and timezone differences are not an issue. Based in the UK. #fediHire
