Key Skills
Front-End Web Development
Specializing in an inclusive approach to web development, I create user-focused, responsive and performance-first websites and applications. I use semantic HTML and progressive enhancements in CSS and JavaScript to ensure the best experience and accessibility.
What does that mean to you?
That means I use best practices for the web to increase SEO (search engine optimiziation), faster page speeds, backwards compatiblitity, and overall better experience for your users.
Team Management, Leadership, and Consultancy
Whether it is consulting businesses on best practices for their website, or training teams about technology and services, I have a proven track record of clear communication and effective management.

Personal Setup
A more complete description of my development envirornment can be found at ando.netlify.com
I use Hyper as my terminal and Visual Studio Code as my IDE. Hyper is configured with an Oh-My-Zsh setup and a Powerlevel10K theme, and both Hyper and VS Code use a color syntax theme called New Moon.
I use DejaVu Sans Mono for my command-line font, because it has great glyph support, and Victor Mono for my text editor font. It supports ligatures and has a nice cursive italic font, similar to Dank Mono or Fira Code.
My favorite browser is Firefox Developer Editon because of it's excellent new DevTools and security. I also have incredible respect for the Mozilla Developer team, and the people like Jen Simmons that make Mozilla so amazing.
