Summary

User-focused, front-end developer with a passion for building responsive, nimble, and accessible user experiences. Contributor and maintainer of Open Source projects, including scrollNav.js, a JavaScript plugin with thousands of installations. Having worked remotely for thirteen of the last fourteen years, plus ten years prior to that as an independent carpenter, I understand how to be accountable and deliver on schedule. I'm currently seeking full-time opportunities that put users first, appreciate quality code practices, and encourage regular contributions to Open Source and skill development.

We write resumes to convince employers to hire us. What if we created a list for what we were looking for in our next employer and their environment?

This allows both sides to cut through the game of telephone, establish what you are looking for in your role, and define the type of organization you're looking to work for. Fork, modify and add this checklist to your portfolio site to quicken the pace of getting through companies that don't match your criteria.

HTML Coding Standards

This documents outlines HTML code standards. The intent of the HTML standards is to foster cross-browser compatibility, accessibility, simplicity and maintainability.

Syntax

Use soft tabs with four spaces to guarantee code renders the same in any environment.
Nested elements should be indented once (four spaces).

This is a simplified example of Smarter Link Underlines built for Sass rather than Stylus. Original code example by Adam Schwartz of eager.io.

Install OS X 10.10 Yosemite in VirtualBox

(based on this pastebin i've found via Google, markdownified and adjusted to work with the official Yosemite release)

Yosemite's first developer preview was released right after Monday's WWDC opening keynote. For the general public, an open beta will be available to download later this summer. However, for those who want a sneak peek at the new hotness, there is a way to safely install it without risking your machine, using the free and powerful VirtualBox application from Oracle.

(LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This guide aims to explain how to create a virtual machine on a regularly purchased Apple computer, running a genuine Mac OS X operating system, for testing purposes only.)
