Zac Harris

Having been self-employed for most of my professional career, I’ve been a self-starter from the get go. In doing so, I’ve gained extensive experience with a variety of programming languages and internet technologies.
Recently, I had the opportunity to work in a corporate environment where I contributed to many major websites, thus adding to my knowledge and upgrading my skill set.
As a frontend developer, my philosophy is to make a simple mobile first UI, a clear UX, use clean code and respect the standards of website heuristics. I take great pleasure in seeing a new website come to life and I look forward to working on stimulating new projects.
