I'm a trusted collaborator for all things web

Yin is one of the best web designers I've worked with. She's built multiple sites for us across various platforms, always delivering pixel-perfect results. It's rare to find someone who's both a skilled designer and a talented engineer—Yin excels at both frontend and backend development. On top of her technical strengths, she's calm, communicates clearly, and consistently meets deadlines. Working with Yin has been smooth and productive every step of the way. I strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable, top-notch web professional who can handle complex projects from start to finish.

Will Lerner

VP of Engineering

I've been lucky enough to work with Yin over the last 10 years. She always is a great collaborator, taking special attention to details that many developers overlook. Her speed at executing at such a high level of craft is incredible.

Matthew Moore

Head of Design

Yin came on board to save our struggling project, and had a working prototype built out in just a couple days, with the full project completing smoothly several weeks later. She's fun to work with, has a good eye for UX, and left us with a best-practices codebase which was easy to understand and modify.

Paul Wagner

Senior Software Engineer

I've had the pleasure of working with Yin and her team for several high profile projects that always had some form of a tight timeline and lofty set of expectations. (You know, typical agency projects). Yin is an effective communicator, who helped us figure out scope, timeline and ultimately a successfully delivered project. I highly recommend Yin Yin to anyone looking for someone who is hardworking, dedicated, knowledgeable and responsive.

Nicholas Daniel-Richards

Tech Founder

Yin is by far the most responsive, communicative, and dependable developer I have ever worked with. We always knew what deliverables we can expect from Yin and when they would be delivered - and they would always be delivered as expected. She really paid attention to our requests and clearly understood our requirements for the project. Yin takes full ownership of her role when she worked with us.

A bit about Yin

I'm an all-around web expert and spent 19+ years in web engineering, user experience & product development.

I'm based in Southern California by way of the east coast. I grew up in my family's restaurants in New Jersey, studied hotel management in Boston, then rediscovered my joy of building things through the New York tech and startup community where I immersed myself for many years.

You can call me a Full-Stack Engineer, Product Strategist, or simply a web expert. I'm a technical and product leader building interactive, engaging experiences on the web. I'm currently favoring Remix, a React framework, and I've emerged from many years as a Ruby on Rails developer.

I design; I code; I market; I write content; I've also done customer support in my time as a startup founder. From designing, building, launching, and scaling extensive web-based software to online shops to marketing websites, my expertise runs the gamut of the entire web spectrum.

With 19+ years of web expertise, I have been relied-upon by organizations of all types and sizes to lead their web marketing projects and online commerce experiences.

I use my technical skills to make a positive impact on communities I care about. Organizations I work with include mental-health-focused startups and businesses, businesses and non-profits supporting the LGBTQIA+ community, and athletics and women-centered initiatives.

Coding brings me joy. I love continuously evolving my programming skills and learning new approaches to the ever changing web landscape. I enjoy digging into how things work, and in web technology, coding allows me to accomplish the "knowing" of how designs, interactions, and animations came to be.

I see every project through from design to launch and beyond. For all the organizations I work with, I also offer ongoing maintenance and support, whether hourly or at a set monthly rate.

I have an incredible wife and a spunky, spirited kid, and every moment with them is a joy. I love hiking, camping, biking, and going to the park to kick, throw, or hit a ball around — lots of movement throughout my days.
