About Me.

who i am

Hi! My name is Dan Ditomaso, and I'm a Toronto-based Front-End Web Developer. I enjoy designing and building accessible, interactive and responsive websites. I recently graduated from the Immersive Web Development Program at HackerYou. I was an IT Infrastructure Architect working with primarily with cloud technologies from Microsoft (Azure) and Amazon (AWS), and I have over 10 years experience in IT Infrastructure consulting. While I was working in IT I wanted the ability to build web applications I wished had existed at the time, so this set me on a path to learn the necessary skills needed to build beautiful, functional websites that also have a great user experience.

what i do

Prior to attending HackerYou I was a self motivated learner with a thirst for knowledge about the latest development best practices, I largely spend much of my personal time working on personal projects. I am a developer with a repertoire of projects that have taught me the value of excellence in all that I do. When you don’t find me behind a computer, I'll be spending my time either playing Ultimate Frisbee in one of the leagues I belong to, or Rock Climbing in a remote location around Ontario.

what i bring

I love what I do, and hold myself to very high standards. I bring with me a desire to keep learning, years of demonstrable experience working with a great variety of technologies, proof that I can and do work hard and consistently.
