About Elena
I am a full-stack Web Application Developer and Software Developer, currently living in Boulder, CO.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Northeastern University, and my primary focus and inspiration for my studies is Web Development.
In my free time, I study human computer interface and the psychology of human computer interaction.
I am both driven and self-motivated, and I am constantly experimenting with new technologies and techniques. I am very passionate about Web Development, and strive to better myself as a developer and the development community as a whole.
I have been studying web development since 2009 and I develop in Ruby, Python and JavaScript, though I primarily use JavaScript.
I am experienced in both front and back-end development, and I am proficient in HTML/HTML5, CSS/CSS3, LESS, SASS, XML, JavaScript, jQuery, AJAX, and SQL/MySQL/PostgreSQL, to name a few.
I am also proficient in many non-web-based languages, including but not limited to Java, Scheme/Racket, C, ACL2 (LISP), and MIPS Assembly.
I have also worked on some smaller Python projects, and have used the language to create one-time use tools for data processing and similar purposes.
I am a Sitecore Certified Professional Web Developer.
I have worked on over ten different Sitecore solutions, ranging from a major travel engine's online booking engine to an internal site for one of the "Big Four" accounting firms, and beyond.
Since 2012, I have been working with responsive design integration, and have experimented with several responsive techniques and tools.
I am a very big fan of using media queries on my sites and I strive to design layouts that can easily be optimized for aesthetic appeal on each of desktops, tablets and cell phones.
