Daniel Slovinsky
Ever since I learned how to automate parts of a former job, I have become obsessed with streamlining and optimizing tasks and applications to create smooth and efficient workflows and user experiences.
As a driven, experienced, self-taught front-end engineer, I pride myself on continually rethinking and expanding upon my skillset and development patterns in order to best put that dedication into practice.
But learning is as much my passion as coding is, and I'm always looking for more opportunities to work with new teams, build upon my experience with modern frameworks, and expand into new areas.

I also migrated their blog site and implemented new redesigns of components and templates.
