Hi, my name is

Dan Valinotti.

I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a passion for building clean, performant, and accessible websites and applications. Adaptable, design oriented, and user-focused applications are my specialty, along with strong architecture and solutions skills.

A great picture of me!
My Guiding

Principles.

Performance

Nothing is better than a beautiful site that doesn't make you wait. Performance is one of my top priorities when doing any kind of software development, and this website is a testament to that. The website is built with Nuxt.js, which allows me to write clean, maintainable source code that is statically-generated for optimal page load times.

Accessibility

Everyone deserves the right to a great user experience on the web. I am committed to making sure that all of my work meets and exceeds web accessibility standards. I use several tools like Axe from Deque to test accessibility, as well as tab-navigating myself to make sure keyboard-only users can do everything they need. If you're having trouble on this site, please reach out to me on my contact page.

Privacy

All users have a right to privacy on the web. I believe that all websites and companies have a responsibility to their users to collect as little data as possible, and make it clear when they are doing so. I am using Plausible for analytics data collection, which is lightweight, and captures only small amounts of user interaction like page views and demographics.
