My name is Casey Ydenberg and I have been building websites and web applications for over 11 years. In that time, I have built, maintained and deployed applications with a wide variety of different languages and technologies:
- JavaScript ecosystem: especially TypeScript, d3, React and Preact, Node, and Deno
- HTML/CSS, different CSS preprocessors and tailwind
- Python: Django, Numpy, Biopython
- PHP: Laravel and WordPress
- MySQL and PostgresQL
- NoSQL databases: especially CouchDB
After multiple years of freelancing, I'm capable of covering the whole stack, although my deep expertise lies in crafting rich frontend experiences.
Prior to 2014, I was a research scientist. While I loved the lab, I discovered that I was better at communicating my work - both in person and in writing - than I was at actually doing it.
My passion lies in bringing these two career paths together: using web browsers to present complex science accurately and in a way which respects the principles of good user experience, responsive design, and progressive enhancement.
