"Un site est jamais achevé — c’est toujours un accident qui le termine, c’est à dire qui le donne au public. Ce sont la lassitude, la demande de l’utilisateur, la poussée d’un autre site. Mais jamais l’état même de l’ouvrage (si le concepteur n’est pas un sot) ne montre qu’il ne pourrait être poussé, changé, considéré ce première approximation, ou origine d’une recherche nouvelle. Je conçois, quant à moi, que le même site et presque le même code pourraient être repris indéfiniment et occuper toute une vie. 'Perfection' c’est travail."

Paul Valéry Œuvres

Hello! My name is Larry.

A floating computer monitor with vaporwave animator on screen.

I like making people laugh & building things people can use.

This is my personal website.

I'm a front-end web developer currently based in: 📍 Philadelphia, PA

I love my work! Building things that both delight users & help people find & do things on the World Wide Web is immensely fulfilling.

I'm an unapologetic '90s kid who (fondly) remembers GeoCities, LambdaMOO, and many other cultural artifacts of the Internet's dial-up days. The web was a much weirder and whimsical place back then, and I've tried to incorporate that weirdness and whimsey into this site's overall look & feel. I hope you like it!

NAV INSTRUCTIONS:

This website is organized into different sections.

You can learn more about each section by reading the cards below. If you'd like to navigate to a particular section, simply click on the hyperlinks embedded within each card. Your browser should take care of the rest!

To navigate to an individual card, you can either click on one of the short links beneath the gray line (which will auto scroll to the selected card) or, if you'd like to go at a more leisurely pace, you can manually scroll down the page until you see a card that piques your interest.

You can return to this menu by clicking on the blue chevrons at the bottom of each section's card.

This site is perpetually under construction, which means some sections might not be "live" yet. If so, attempting to navigate to them will also redirect you back to these instructions.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh for your patience!

My Web Dev Journey

I wasn't always a web developer. It took me a while to get here, and I learned a lot of valuable things along the way.

My Work

Available For Hire!

Professional work, side projects, and my resume can all be found here. Useful if you're looking to get a better sense of who I am, what I know, how I add value, & how I can help organizations reach their goals.

Web Dev Learning Resources

The best web devs are constantly pushing themselves to learn new things, including new things about what they "already" know. Here you can learn more about how I taught myself web development, as well how I can continue to learn & grow as developer.

What I Use

The tools, applications, & systems I lean on to help me get the most out of my day-to-day work. This section also provides details on tools I'm using on a trial basis, tools I intend to try in the not-too-distant future, and "legacy" tools I no longer use. Real nerd stuff.
