A designer/developer hybrid, my area of expertise resides at the overlap of visual design and front-end code and I am capable of building web products from the ground up. My goals are to be as helpful as possible to my organization, be accountable to my team, and build products that meet business goals and exceed customer expectations.
Currently, I am a UI/UX Developer at Carilion Clinic where I design, build, and maintain web products that connect patients to healthcare services across south western Virginia.
