Hi, I'm

SarahMay Harel

Front End Developer

About Me

I am a front end web developer located in New York. I’m inspired by clean design and user experiences, and strive to bring those elements to every project I work on.

My experience in front end and UX/UI development includes JavaScript, JQuery, SCSS, Bootstrap, Jekyll, and Liquid. On the CMS side, I’m proficient with Shopify, WordPress, Craft, and GitHub Pages. I'm committed to using git for its reliable version control and believe that it is a key component to successful collaboration. I’m a highly organized person with a desire to solve problems both efficiently and elegantly.

In my spare time, I love rock climbing, solving crossword puzzles, and caring for my forest of houseplants.
