I know the newest elements introduced with HTML5 as well as the standard library that's been around for ages. I construct semantic, accessible markup that is performant and readable.

I've built CSS for small, one page brochure sites and large, multi-million dollar corporations with thousands of pages. I practice the SUITCSS (similar to BEM) naming convention; I have 4 years of responsive experience with @media queries. I know the ins and outs of selectors, specificity and how to set up, construct and debug layout issues.

I practice the SUITCSS (similar to BEM) naming convention; I have 4 years of responsive experience with @media queries. I know the ins and outs of selectors, specificity and how to set up, construct and debug layout issues. I have implemented code using new features like flexbox & transforms with sensible fallbacks for browsers that don't support them.

Most of my experience is with DOM manipulation, arrays and objects. When it makes sense, I try to not use any external libraries, like jQuery. A good example of what I do with plain JavaScript is a textbox character count, ala Twitter.

I have experience implementing anything from simple class manipulation to more complex data driven operations like Ajax, event delegation, binding and more . I've also written some very simple plugins and customized existing ones.

I use Git exclusively for my personal and professional projects. I have experienced tough situations, for example when merges go poorly and it needs work to get the commit history back in working order. I practice the accepted best practices such as keeping commit messages short, committing often, tagging and rebasing often.
