A Little Bit About Me...

Vanessa Maciel

Front-End Web Developer

I am a hard-working, team player, get things done type of web developer!

The moment I learned how to create a website I was hooked. I loved everything about it! The way it represents an idea. The intricacies of styling, and placement, and overall design. After college, I taught myself everything I could about what it took to develop things for the web.

I have a passion for this and I put my all into what I do. I know this field is ever changing. I do my best to stay up to date with best practices and some new features that aide in making web developing better and easier.
