// PERSONAL STATEMENT
I’m an experienced Web Designer & Front-End Developer with excellent design & coding skills, as well as an ability to convert client requirements into exciting online applications and projects.
I have extensive programming and graphic skills including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (Vanilla and Libraries), Adobe Family and various web frameworks and tools such as Bootstrap, Foundation, Yoeman, Grunt, Gulp, NPM and Bower.
Finding elegant solutions to complex problems and staying at the cutting edge of the digital industry are what make me tick.
