My name is Dennis Chow a.k.a. Fat-Cow
I am a Web Developer with design background & now focus on front end web development
By taking things one step at a time, you will find yourself actually mastering each specific skill and accomplishing your goals!
I enjoy problem-solving and turning them into simple and clean interface designs. I also like the client-side logic, microinteractions, content presentation, structure of coding, user experience, responsive layout, and always strive to write elegant and efficient code with best practices, whether it be HTML5, CSS3/LESS, or JavaScript (Vanilla/jQuery/AngularJS).
When I am not glued to my monitor, you will find me most likely banging with dumbbells at the gym, blasting music on my headphones, tasting a sexy food, and or posting pictures on Instagram.
Coder ✖ Designer
I create content first, clean, functional, logical, search engine spiders friendly, professional websites that validated with W3C standards, resulting in semantic structure and accessible HTML and CSS. 100% of my websites are dedicatedly hand coded. Because I enjoy the romance of "Start From Scratch".
For building websites or web-based applications, my gear consists of Photoshop, Illustrator, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Gulp, NPM, PHP, and MySQL. My current CMS of choice is ExpressionEngine (Because I can build instead of manipulating and I love clean code). Also, loud music , speakers, sub-woofer, and headphones are part of my gear.

Front-End Web Developer responsible for a website’s user-facing code and the architecture of its immersive user experiences. As an advanced FEWD, I also made visual design decisions on-the-fly for problem-solving, because some problems of which cannot be solved by writing code alone.
