Introduction
Hello! I love bumping around museums. When I’m not doing that, I’m developing complex user interfaces. I lean heavily towards frontend development. My work involves communicating with designers and backend developers to come up with high performance and consistent UI/UX solutions to provide our customers with the best advertising analytics platform. The tools I use include Backbone.js, LESS.js and more.
