Portfolio/Résumé: https://endigodesign.com/

My name is Chris, and I have a career that spans nearly 25 years focusing on frontend web development and interface design. I love the web, technology, and video games.

I also serve as the creator and core maintainer for Skeleton (https://www.skeleton.dev/), an open source design system and component library currently available for Svelte and React (with Vue and Solid.js coming soon). I've grown the project from a small internal toolkit for a 5 person startup to a fully featured standalone library. We average around 80k downloads a month, have nearly 6k stars on GitHub, and community of over 2k members on Discord. I recently traveled to Barcelona Spain for the Svelte Summit where I had the privilege to meet many of my peers in the Svelte and greater open source community - including Rich Harris (creator of Svelte), who praised our work on Skeleton.

I would love to work on FOSS all day every day, but in order to support myself I split my time and operate as a freelancer alongside my open source contributions. This means I'm currently available around 20-30 hours a week Monday-Friday.

I'm open to any sort of interesting project with a focus on frontend web. I'm also available to act in a consultant role. I'm ideally seeking projects that make a positive contribution to society.

Thanks for your consideration!
