About

Hi, I’m Garrett.I build things on the web.

I’m a frontend engineer with a long-standing interest in computers and the web. I grew up alongside the internet, which naturally turned into a career focused on building web applications.

Most of my work centers around building thoughtful interfaces, untangling tricky UI logic, and making sure complex systems feel simple, stable, and reliable for the people using them.

A bit more about me

Outside of work, I enjoy a mix of screen time and getting outdoors. I love movies and video games, like being outside, and spend a lot of time building things and working on fun projects with my son.

I really value time with friends, family, and the people I care about. I love learning and trying new things, and I believe that everyone is both a student and a teacher. I try to bring that mindset into my work and relationships by staying curious, open, and easy to work with.
