About
I started coding websites with design experiments, and from there was hired by a local ISP as their Webmaster. It was a full-spectrum introduction into web development, from crafting websites to running the web-hosting department.
I've carried this creativity, flexibility and versatility into every role since. I'm grateful to have work in technical and creative functions which prepared me for this hybrid career where i'm part graphic-designer, front-end developer, ux designer and multimedia specialist
When I'm not coding, I enjoy writing music, art and gaming.

Recent Projects
Development Work on UnitedHealth Group
A majority of my work is executional: I update content pages, press releases and investor information. But I provide the most value by extending the Front-End of our AEM instance. I create custom HTML, CSS and Javascript that reduces the workload on the Back-End Development team.
Some examples:
- Social Share Overlay CSS/JS
- Chart.js concept
- Snippets to extend article storytelling
- Pure CSS Homepage Slider (no longer on site)
- Axios-style Newsroom (no longer on site)
Dashboard with Chart.js
I created a static dashboard with Chart.js here. Bonus learning about Tailwind CSS, which was used here.
