> Software Engineer at Persona

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/danevans

I transform comps and wireframes into valid, semantic, standards compliant HTML, CSS and unobtrusive JavaScript. I am a big follower of the web standards movement and so I strive for accessibility and separation of content, markup, presentation and behaviors. I strongly believe that less is more and the best design is an elegantly minimal one that embraces the constraints of the medium, in this case the web.
I am passionate about what I do and because of my attachment to my work feel a dedication to the success of whatever I produce. I strive to ensure that what I create looks good, works well, is lean and fast, has cutting edge features, works even on older platforms or ones which haven't been invented yet.

Specialties: HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery, PHP, Python, progressive enhancement, semantic markup, graceful degradation, embracing constraints, future proofing
