Hello all! I am Arri! I am a Full-Stack engineer with a passion for accessibility and a focus on frontend tech. I have been doing web professionally for over 10 years and have done it for fun long before then!

When I am not building web technology or toying around with some new tech, I like to brew beer, play D&D and other tabletop games, or spend time camping, hiking, or kayaking outdoors.
