Abstract

I'm a Software Engineer at Amazon Web Services working on connecting customers with executives. I over-obsess on small details and often spend hours perfecting a single piece of a website. This manifesto outlines my design philosophy and approach to web development.

Motivation

The internet as a kid was just a thing. Being born in 1997, I had no idea of what the dot-com crash was until I was older. My first experiences with the web were sites like Myspace, Playlist.com, and Y8. My dad owned a iMac and I used to spend hours on it. Mainly to play Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, but also to build dummy sites on iWeb. For the uninitiated, iWeb was a WYSIWYG website builder that came free with iMacs and MacBooks in the mid-2000s. It let me create something that felt like my own little corner of the internet. Of course I never published anything, but I loved the idea of building something that could be shared with others.
