My core values

Accessibility: Web for Everyone

The Web should be a safe space for everyone! Your abilities or circumstances should not stop you from accessing content like everyone else. Modern browsers do a great job of providing required features, but the responsibility of making the web accessible still lies with the developer. I try to make my apps as accessible as possible by following the latest standards and best practices.

Speed: Performance Meets Efficiency

Google: 53% of mobile users abandon sites that take over 3 seconds to load

Performance factors into many aspects of a web app. Not only does it affect the user experience and conversion rates, but it also impacts the search engine rankings. I make sure that my apps are efficient by avoiding excessive JavaScript and CSS, optimizing images, and using the latest techniques to improve performance.

Modern Technologies: Staying Ahead of the Curve

The web is constantly evolving, it takes a great deal of effort to stay up to date with the latest technologies. I'm not afraid to challenge the status quo and try out new things. The cutting edge comes with the risk of... well... cutting yourself. We must always be mindful of the stability of our tools, to stay safe.
