I am a freelance web developer. I've worked professionally in the web development field since 1999, and full-time since 2007. I count myself as one of those lucky few people who actually enjoy what they do.
You can find me on GitHub, on Twitter, on Pinboard, CodePen or, occasionally, on Flickr.
I'm not currently accepting new contract work, but I'm always interested in what's going on. Hit me up any time at dan at this domain.
I've been an freelance developer for over ten years, specializing in front-end architecture and development. Since 2007, I've worked almost exclusively with Sprokets, a collection of independent creative professionals.

If you're tired of Flat Design and looking for something to spice it up, why not try Long Shadows? And if you're going to try Long Shadows, why not use a pure CSS solution with this Sass mixin?
A couple of weeks ago, a good friend sent me an email with a list of questions for me. He'd been out of the front-end game for a little while, and wanted to pick my brain a little bit. I thought that instead of just answering him directly, I'd share my answers with everyone.
