Jolly good all round code peddler and pixel diddler. Front-end developer and designer that that smiles a lot and plays basketball at any chance he gets.

🔥 Did you know that @ChromeDevTools has a command palette, just like Sublime? Hit command+shift+p and easily search for all of those cool features that you can never remember how to find!
