Greetings, and welcome to my digital space!
My name is James Lau, a dedicated front-end web developer based in Boston. I’ve honed my expertise in front-end development, channeling my energies toward crafting compelling user interfaces and elevating user experiences through innovative development practices by blending my background skills in graphic design.
Journeying into the tech and design realm has been dynamic and enriching, from collaborating with small design firms to contributing to the digital landscapes of large enterprises, with a wealth of experience across diverse client projects—spanning print, mobile, and web platforms.
When I am not being a robot by day, I spend time being a human by night and weekends with my son and wife. Watching movies, playing board games, and video games, cooking random food recipes from oldie cookbooks dug up from yard sales to taking a nice walk along the beach.
