Front-End Web Developer
Greater Seattle Area
I am a plastic surgeon of the web. I specialize in putting the face on your project, adding the finishing touches before you introduce your application to the world. This "face" plays well with others as well, including Internet Explorer 6/7, Firefox and Safari. My work is always clean and valid code.
My primary focus is in standards-compliant XHTML semantics and coding CSS for multiple browsers. I'm not interested in IE hacks, I use valid conditional comments to account for Internet Explorer. You can always get my attention with Ruby on Rails projects, particularly ones using HAML and SASS for view construction and styling. I'm currently looking for contracts and full-time positions cutting design comps into valid XHTML and CSS.
