My name is Rob,
and I like to party.

About Me

I am an experienced Front-end Developer with a deep understanding of Accessibility, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and broad experience with the full-stack software development life cycle. I am passionate about creating beautiful interfaces that are both accessible and easy to use. I have achieved success through a combination of my own experience, by teaming up with anyone I can learn from, and a bit of luck. I firmly believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion make every team stronger and actively work to increase those qualities in my workplace.

My preferred pronouns are he, him, and his.
