Summary
Nathan Long is a Senior UI Developer with 13 years of experience designing and building accessible, mobile-first web experiences for clients ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies. He blends hands-on front-end craftsmanship (HTML, CSS, JS) with design sensibility from a BFA in Graphic Design, often translating complex visual concepts into semantic, resilient interfaces. At Viget he focuses on interaction and animation guidance while collaborating closely with designers and platform engineers; previously he led front-end teams and initiatives at Pace Communications. Known for pragmatic leadership—part coach, part log-jam breaker—he also brings a freelance background that sharpened client communication and end-to-end project ownership. Off-hours he describes himself as a “free-range gif wrangler,” a hint at a playful attention to micro-interaction detail that informs his polished UI work.
