Writing
I’ve been a writer longer than I’ve been a designer/developer, and it’s something I hope I’ll be doing until the day I die. I write articles on everything from JavaScript to professional skills to mental health to movies, and you’ll find my articles in numerous online publications.
In addition to writing various places, I’m also an editor at A List Apart, and I have a few little side projects that I run as well, detailed below.
