Lorin Tackett

kickass things I've built

Take a look at my résumé

who is this lorin guy anyway?

By day, I am a UI developer, honing his craft by busting out kickass Rails apps since 2007. But at night, I am an evil mad scientist with the sinister intention to one day take over the world with my giant killer robot. I have been ruthlessly toiling away in my hidden arctic lair for years. However, thanks to global warming my arctic lair is not so hidden anymore. So I remain but a humble front-end developer for hire. I suppose I could be an evil mad front-end developer, but actually... I'm quite happy.

I royally suck at pimping myself out, so here's what a few awesome people in my industry have said about my work.

I frequently collaborate with Lorin on several Open Source Software Projects. He's a smart front-end engineer with an eye for both design and great markup and styles. He's eager to learn new technologies and to help create it as well. If you're looking for a forward thinker to take your website's front end to the next level, I think Lorin just might be your man.

oh? tell me more.

Lorin is the type of colleague everyone wants to work with: cheerful, detail oriented, thoughtful, accomplished and insightful. He consistently went the extra mile without being asked.

-Scott Rudolph, Director of Business Development at luxuryrealestate.com

Lorin is an extremely talented, productive, results-oriented developer who has the ability to get things done. He's serious about standards, has a clear aesthetic vision, and does a great job of translating vague, amorphous requirements into impressive deliverables. Always ready to tear into challenging projects, untangle messes, and get his hands dirty. Lorin rocks, he's always been the "go to" guy on our team, he's got my highest endorsement.

stuff. I do lots of it.

Among the stuff I do, I'm a fairly accomplished musician. Here are a few songs I wrote, played, sang, recorded, synthesized, produced, mangled, tweaked, bitwrangled and otherwise created...
