Summary
Joel Dies is a UX-focused front-end developer with 12 years of experience crafting accessible, cross-browser web interfaces and fluid layouts from Dallas, Texas. Rooted in a lifelong passion for programming that began with Visual Basic at 13, he combines deep HTML/CSS/JavaScript expertise with practical server-side familiarity to build lightweight, reusable UI components and dashboards. He has shipped production work across financial, retail, and enterprise environments (USAA, Bank of America, Sears, Wells Fargo, MultiView) and automated front-end workflows using Node.js, Gulp, SASS and Laravel. Known for exceptional problem-solving and rapid learning, he often simplifies development by embedding behavior in data-driven HTML patterns rather than heavy external dependencies. Comfortable as a solo consultant or within teams, he also brings hands-on ops and legacy system experience from earlier IT and security roles.
