Hi. I'm Ed and I build web applications.

Let's work together
More about me

Full Stack Web Development

Back End

I mostly work with Laravel, followed by Firebase, or Express. I love coffee but not Java.

Front End

I prefer Vue, but like learning new frameworks. I'm very comfortable with React, state management, and single page applications.

CSS

I pretty much require SASS. I like to build up CSS structure, usually BEM, but most of the time just use Material or Bulma.

Responsive

Flex, media queries, and defensive coding for an effective interface everywhere.

Fast

I prioritize page speed and best practices to make a fast, smooth experience that saves us all time.

Experienced

10 years of editors, jQueries, frameworks, open source, and web trends for a solid, defensible, evolving dev environment and a PhD in Googling.

Want to know more?

I got my Bachelors of Science in Computer Science at Washington University in St. Louis and now live in Portland, Oregon. I love travel, hiking, movies, philosophy, poker, beer, Las Vegas, and I speak a bit of French. I am confident in all areas of web site development, though I work best with a designer. Whatever your subject or goal, I can make it happen.
