You've reached Cindy: a well-travelled front-end developer who loves reading, typography, and coffee (often all at the same time). And now, an A-to-Z of my skills.
This is Cindy: a well-travelled front-end developer who loves reading, typography, and coffee.
Autodidact
a continuous learner and observer of the world (and yet, the more I learn, the less I know)
Best practices
striving to make the internet accessible for everyone through modern web development
CSS3
also an avid fan of Sass/SCSS because organization is my jam
Debugging
cross-browser testing and development: every developer's favourite task, am I right?
Education
institutions that have my money: HackerYou + York University + Queen's University
Firebase
building databases and making lists... one to-do app at a time
Git
open-source coding and versional control with Github, too!
HTML5
infinitely better than when I was building websites on geocities in the late-90s
Image editing
made a lot of desktop wallpapers and photo manips using Adobe Photoshop in my youth...
JavaScript
making websites more like humans: dynamic, interactive, and able to reject your promises
Keen problem-solver
that 'aha' moment after staring at a piece of code for hours (also, crosswords are fun)
Languages
fluent in French, Cantonese, and the important phrases in Spanish
Mobile design
including skills in Responsive Design, which sounds like the same thing, but isn't
NPM and node.js
because who doesn't love getting packages and being commanding?
Open-minded
and reliable and adaptive (also, O is for the Oxford comma because it's awesome)
Project management
in high school, my notes were colour-coded and I really loved my agenda
(j)Query
as far as libraries go, this one wins because it doesn't charge overdue book fees (sorry, TPL)
React
my thanks to those components who fuel my OCD need for organized and clean code
Style
mine can be described as 'whimsical minimalism' (it's gonna be a thing, just you wait)
Teamwork
paired programming and collaboration makes for bigger and better ideas
UI and UX-focused
people really like things that move around or change colour or light up
VS code and Sublime
does anybody else use a different colour theme for nighttime vs daytime...?
Workflow
not just workflow but super handy workflow automation with Gulp
XML, AJAX, and APIs
if only all communication returned with a response you wanted
Years
(and years) of customer service experience and positive client interactions
Zippy wordsmith
with a background in creative prose, poetry, and prose poetry
