Andrew Garman
Senior Front-End Developer
I specialize in accessible design systems and modern web components — architecting scalable solutions for complex digital properties across healthcare, education, and beyond. Over 10+ years I've traveled from Flash animation and graphic design to front-end architecture, landing somewhere at the intersection of design, engineering, and "let me just 3D print that."
