About Me

Benjamin with family

Programming has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember. In 2014, that hobby bossomed into a passion when I started my career as a front end developer. Since then, I've grown to love the unique opportunities (and challenges!) of creating a great user experience. I'm now very comfortable taking a static design and bringing it to life in a way that shines at every size, in every browser. I'm familiar with modern design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, Zeplin) and frameworks (Bootstrap, Material Design).

I'm not huge on backend work, although I do it in a pinch. I'd rather be given a solid API and get to use that data as a pallete to paint a masterpiece!

I'm great at:

  • HTML5 (Semantic markup, structured microdata)
  • CSS3 (animations, responsive layouts, flexbox, grid, BEM, SCSS)
  • ES2018+ (Babel, Webpack, Node)
  • PHP

I love working with:

  • React
  • GraphQL

I want to learn:

  • Typescript
  • Advanced CSS Grid
  • TDD with Jest
