About Jesse
For me, web development means using code to bring ideas to life – and on this journey, I get to solve puzzles. I love solving puzzles.
When an idea strikes, I’ll race to my notepad and scribble feverishly – it’s like my whole body knows what to do and can’t wait to get it down. When I sit down to code, I get to put my creative idea into action, a supremely satisfying experience.
Values
In my work, I am grounded in my values. This means they inform my work and act as a guiding light wherever there is ambiguity. Here are a few of my most important values:
Integrity means telling the truth even when it's hard. That starts with being honest with myself and asking questions like these:
- What is truly possible here?
- What can I deliver as a developer?
- Do I need to ask for help?
To answer these questions, I take a breath, get honest and then take the right action.
All websites need to be accessible to all users, regardless of ability or disability. I take this seriously in my work.
I do the research to stay abreast of the latest accessibility developments and incorporate them into my sites. Additionally, I test my sites with a screenreader (NVDA) to ensure they’re navigable using assistive technologies.
Do you see room for improvement in this site’s accessibility? I’m always open to feedback. Use the contact form below to send me a message.
As I’ve grown as a person, I’ve come to see how joy can permeate everything we do – and create the opportunity for connection.
Joy is often in the details, be it a satisfying animation or a playful accent color. It says, “Hey you. I see you. I care about your experience. And I’d love to bring a smile to your face.”
