Hi, I'm a developer that loves clean & elegant code.

A little bit about me.

For the past 35 years I have made a living as an Electrical and Instrumentation designer in the Oil & Gas and Petro-chemical industries. My position and experience as a technical designer has taught me concepts that are important to the role of a developer; concepts such as clearly defined goals, organizational skills, and attention to detail.

When I learned how to build my first website, I realized I found something that gave me the freedom & versatility I was looking for in my work. Now I've made a full switch to front-end development, where I can use my organization skills and eye for detail to write clean, elegant code.

Hand-Coded HTML

My focus is writing clean, well-formatted, semantic HTML5 by hand to make sure that the content is easy to read, easy to collaborate, trouble-shoot and accessible.

Well-Organized CSS

I pride myself on writing CSS that is easy to read and build on. I focus on keeping my CSS lean and fast to load, and I make it a habit to stay up to date on current best practices.

Ease Converting Designs into Code

You can trust me to take a designer's PSD and quickly & accurately convert it into a webpage that is a pixel-perfect match.
