ALEX HIRT
Front End Developer
With the power of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, I create beautiful and responsive front-end experiences with an emphasis on clear and efficient design. I work diligently to make unique interfaces that balance form and functionality.
I strongly believe that memorable web experiences are created by pairing precise strategy with divergent thinking.
During development, I know how to source the information I need to move projects forward. My process gravitates towards detail and intricacy. I am a perfectionist as well as an ambitious maker; I strive to push my boundaries while still preserving excellence in craft. I embrace and learn from my failures.

About Me
Hi! I currently reside in Austin, TX with my girlfriend Ellen Dick who is a seriously kickass glassblower-check her out!
We live with a 17 year old cat who is belovingly called "Ms. Kitty." Her original name "Spice" never really took.
Beyond coding I make art, play guitar and cello, get outdoors, and play sports. I really love throwing frisbees.
I also enjoy most food, especially BBQ and sushi.
