Alan Shortis

I'm a front end developer based in London Nottingham Leicester, currently working for Play Sports Network.

I like building scalable, accessible, and performant design systems and websites using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The combination of code, design, and empathy for end users is what makes me want to do my best work.

Find me on Are.na and Glass.
