Just kidding, this is just a toggle to a button, because I really want to show off my ability to code useless non-UI-friendly features.

About

Hey there! Name's Alex. I'm a front-end web developer who also dabbles in web design and writing. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2011 and have spent my days since then honing my web development skills (and poking at this admittedly sad and somewhat dated website. Apologies. You might find more updated stuff on this site: https://alex.daknoparkinglot.com).

I currently work as a web developer for a real estate marketing company. I'm part front-end dev (coding fancy sites, etc). and part back-end dev (updating and improving our custom CMS/CRM).

This is not a picture of me, though I dig the blue hair.
