That's right! I'm a Frontend Web Developer. I'm the guy to whom you can hand a well-conceived website PSD and in a few hours you'll have a standards-compliant, extensible, CSSified, SEO-optimized, functional site that does all the right things and cooks your breakfast.
I'm also a guy with whom you can spec UI widgets that not only do what they are supposed to do but are also actually maintainable. Need a jQuery notification bar with pull-out drawers, messaging queues, ajax retrieval and acking, that makes people smile when they use it? No problem. I'll write it modularized, object-oriented, and in a down-to-earth, understandable way: none of that sloppy frontend code that gets lost in a sea of anonymous functions all stepping on each other is in sight.
Need someone who also totally gets backend code? No problem. I understand SQL and love ORMs. I know my way around Unix and I sysadmin my own servers running Linux and FreeBSD. I write excellent Ruby and can bang out solid PHP when needed.
I love solving specific problems in-budget and on-time. That makes me a great freelancer. I also work very well in teams, blending ideas and finding the best solution that compromises in just the right places. That makes me a great employee. I'm straight-forward. Expect honest answers and a professional approach.
Then get in touch. I'm looking forward to working with you.
