About Ruben

I am a Web Developer at Johns Hopkins University Press, working primarily with Drupal and React (Typescript). On this site, the Home page contains my résumé. Development contains both projects for hobby and for work, representing a wide array of skills. Communication contains my professional writing samples, along with explanations about their motivation. On this page, you will find my philosophy creating this site and a little about me at the end.

About this Site

As a Technical Support Specialist turned Digital Accessibility Specialist turned Web Developer, I have honed my technical and troublshooting skills. But I do not only have technical competence; I can also communicate goals to leadership, recieve feedback from stakeholders, and train nontechnical staff. I have arranged my portfolio to include specific examples of these two broad categories I excel at.

I have chosen to keep the CSS on this portfolio minimal: you are here to find information about me, not to be amazed by a sparkling cursor, impressive bezier curves, or text that slides onto the screen after a delay. If you are interested in seeing examples of my CSS comptence, please refer to examples in the Development section.

About Me

In my free time, I like to hike, read, and search for new bubble tea spots.
