Hi, I'm Mike Purcella
A frontend web developer focused on building products and experiences that bring true measurable results to end users.
ProjectsWho am I?
I'm a frontend web developer who is passionate about creating digital experiences that are both visually stunning and enjoyable. Although my career didn't originally include web development, I soon realized that it was where my passion lay.
In my career thus far, I've had the privilege of contributing to websites such as the National Park Foundation, the Human Rights Campaign, and Aylo Health, along with the numerous personal projects I work on to strengthen my skills as a developer in order to stay up-to-date on the latest trends. I've always been interested in technology and its ability to connect people and improve lives, and web development allows me to do just that.
I aspire to impact teams with meaningful contributions and a growth-focused mindset. If you have a job opportunity that matches my skill set, experience, and provides an opportunity to continue learning and growing as a developer, please feel free to contact me!
