About Me
I'm Alex Thorne, a front-end developer obsessed with the intersection of clean code and beautiful design.
I believe a great digital product isn't just about how it looks, but how it feels and performs. For me, development is about solving puzzles. Whether it's architecting a component system, optimizing for millisecond load times, or building an intuitive, pixel-perfect layout, I love the challenge of making the digital world a little more usable and efficient.
When I'm not at my keyboard, I'm usually exploring typography, tinkering with generative art, or trying to find the perfect pour-over coffee.
