JJ Keith
Front End Developer
Hiya! As a developer, I prioritize accessibility, clean code, and great user experiences. In 2016 I completed an immersive web development program and transitioned from writing to development. I was hired by a small startup right out the program and honed my front end skills under the guidance of a senior developer for two years. I have gone on to work for startups of all sizes, an ad agency, and freelance clients.
