I’m a developer on the web platform. While the front end is my home, I work nimbly up and down the full stack—always with accessibility as a foundational engineering principle. I enjoy programming and testing for CI/CD-backed reliability and performance, and I can be kind of merciless when it comes to demanding real value from each kilobyte transferred between server and end user.My professional life has focused on practicing and teaching web-development methods that value research equally with effective communication. I’m as devoted to maintaining project documentation as I am to the clarity of each commit message, technical blog post, conference presentation, and book that I’ve written.I’m an insatiable learner and a supportive, encouraging team member. I have extensive experience teaching and coaching developers of all skill levels—and an equal amount of experience communicating advanced technical topics even to people with very limited technical backgrounds.
