If you can, please help me #GetFediHired and escape the US. I'm a front-end web dev with over 20 years of experience. I know React, of course, but I consider my core skills to be:

* HTML, CSS, and JS/TypeScript
* accessibility
* listening to users and caring about them
* hence, UI and UX

I'll need visa sponsorship. I've been aiming for Ireland, but am open to other EU or Aus/NZ.
