HTML & CSS

The Building Blocks of the Web

My expertise in web development is built on a deep and long-standing foundation in HTML and CSS. From my earliest projects like the Ragnarok Canopus Portal, I have been hand-coding semantic HTML and crafting stylesheets to create user interfaces.

Modern and Responsive Design

My skills have evolved with web standards. I am proficient in writing modern, semantic HTML5 and crafting complex, responsive layouts using advanced CSS techniques like Flexbox and Grid. I am also experienced with CSS preprocessors like Sass for writing more maintainable and modular styles.

In modern projects like this portfolio site, I use CSS-in-JS libraries, but the underlying principles of CSS specificity, the box model, and responsive design remain critical to my work.
