Browser

I build user interfaces for web apps, brochure sites, blogs, and everything in-between. I’m usually given designs and build that into something that works beautifully. I am design-aware, so things like typographic details aren’t lost.

Every site I’ve worked on in recent years has been fully responsive, forward thinking with an eye on the past, and sensibly written.

Server

I have several years WordPress experience, both in theming and plugin development. I also have strong knowledge of Ghost, Jekyll, and have even written my own micro-CMS where no others fulfilled the requirements.

Getting the content into the right places (and in the right format) is crucial and not always as easy is it looks — I’ve done that in spades.

Tools

There are plenty of tools I have used over the years, including: Git, NPM, Bower, Ruby Gems, Grunt, Sass, Less, jQuery, Jekyll, WordPress, Ghost, Handlebars, Liquid, ERB, Markdown, and of course the usual suspects of HTML, CSS, PHP and (raw) JavaScript.

Ideology

I like to keep things simple, that goes for the class names & selectors I choose, file & folder structure, build tools, steering clear of things that annoy users, and so on. Using the most modern tools and features I can usually helps, but looking backwards helps too.
