PROFILE
Extremely passionate and dedicated front-end developer, UI and UX designer, and web security/performance enthusiast. Joseph has many years of experience in the industry, and has maintained a burning passion for learning and engaging all things Web.
Joseph makes a dedicated effort to challenge himself everyday, both inside and outside the job, by learning the latest and greatest JavaScript frameworks, and further developing his growing client and server-side skills.
Unlike some developers, Joseph maintains knowledge and experience in both front and back end technology, as it has proven to be extremely beneficial when working on a team, or performing solo (front-end is his strongest suit and where he feels most passionate).
He also has a passion for analyzing and reverse-engineering new web exploits, and has found this beneficial not only where web security is concerned, but also impacts the way he faces and writes software, giving him keen insights into the way modern browsers and web technology standards work.
