Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/adamholwerda

I'm a web application developer with a decade of experience building interfaces for clients and end users as well as internal tools for teams and coworkers. I build static or dynamic multipage websites, single page applications, and command line interfaces. I have a strong foundation in the strategies and patterns used to create and maintain interactive web projects -- snappy database design, REST API implementations, as well as remote/local syncing to name a few. 

I complete projects on time and can command multiple lanes of a production pipeline in order to achieve goals alone and on teams.
