About Me
Hi! I'm Patrick, and I have a passion for bringing engaging and user-friendly web experiences to life. I build websites both for the end user and for content editors. I have extensive knowledge about customizing the user interface and user experience of various content management systems. My experience includes building out full stack features within Umbraco and Optimizely, as well as building custom front end interfaces with HTML, CSS/SASS, Javascript/Typescript, and React. I have a deep understanding of accessibility and semantic coding practices and am passionate about promoting these practices in my work and among my colleagues.
When I'm not working, I enjoy photography, live music, collecting physical media, movies, and reading.
