As a Front-End Developer, Andy’s role primarily involves translating site designs from static mock-ups to usable Web page templates. These are then handed off to the rest of the development team who add in the underlying functionality. Andy’s goal is to not only make sure the final site looks great, but to also ensure that it's accessible and functional regardless of the end-user's platform or browser preference.
Andy spends his time away from LightSky wrangling his ever-growing comic book collection. He’s a huge movie buff and is always doing his best to tear through a far-too-long Netflix queue while also trying to fit in a constant rotation of Joss Whedon re-runs.
