Ben Cathey

UX Designer / Front-End Developer

I am Ben Cathey, I am a front-end developer and UX designer currently in Kansas City. I went to school at John Brown University and majored in Design with an emphasis on web. In all the work I do I put a lot of effort into making everything as efficient and user friendly as I can. I am currently looking for my next employment opportunity.

HTML/CSS

I am very confident in my ability to write efficient and semantic HTML and CSS. I have put a lot of effort into learning and staying current with best practices and techniques.

JS/JQuery

I am very comfortable with javascript and Jquery and have experience in developing for user interaction. I am open and eager to learn more libraries and frameworks.

SCSS

I have some experience working with SCSS, but am still learning. I would be excited to be able to work with it more on projects.

CMS

I have worked with several CMS's including Wordpress and a custom proprietary CMS at CCH. In my time there I was able to get a good understanding of it and even introduce some ways to improve it.

User Experiance

Any work I do I always put an emphasis on the user experience, small things can make or break a users experience with site or company. Getting into the mind of a user and creating an intuitive, simple site is a passion of mine.

Accessibility

Accessibility is something that has started grabbing my attention lately. I am by no means an expert, but I have a grasp of the basics and an interest to learn more.

Unfortunatly my most recent work was with proriatery systems and internal sites behind logins that I cannot show
