Web Design & Development

I'm a stack-independent Front-End Web Designer/Developer with twenty years of professional experience and four startups under my belt (two exits), along with a lot of freelance experience. I've worked with Node/Express, LAMP, Windows/.NET, Rails/MySQL, proprietary web servers, and more.

I'm well-versed in Design, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, React.js, Angular.js, and much more. I make frequent efforts to educate myself on the latest and greatest techniques, tools, and frameworks. I'm also comfortable with back-end coding and basic database construction and management. I get along beautifully with programmers, producers, and executives, and enjoy managing teams.

Currently I'm running my own startup company, CloseBrace.
