About — Justin M. Ramirez

Hi, I'm a Senior Front-end Developer with 7+ years across enterprise platforms and creative agencies. I care about clean, handcrafted CSS, pixel-accurate implementation, and sound front-end architecture.
These days I'm learning and making use of AI integrations, tooling, etc. and venturing into design engineering.
This site is a work in progress, stay tuned for updates.

Please feel free to contact me. Enjoy the site!

Principles — Justin M. Ramirez

These are some of my general musings and thoughts about the web. Hopefully they give you some insight on what I'm about:

1. The platform first. Reach for HTML and CSS before JavaScript, and JavaScript before a dependency.
2. Restraint is a feature.
3. Guiding AI is okay. You should still be driving (largely).
4. I'm a child and disciple of the fun and alive 90's-2000's web era aesthetics. Let's bring it back!
5. Keep it as simple as possible.
