Native Madisonian and developer Simon Kuran recently joined our squad as in-house talent, but he’s been in our orbit a long while — first as a job-shadowing home-schooler, then as a contractor with Cricket Design Works collaborator Alex Kendrick, and finally as a freelance developer. Simon brings nearly a decade of experience developing CMS-based websites for a variety of clients, and has a gift for working with designers to deliver sites that are true to the design while following best practices for the nitty-gritty of code.
We asked Simon to answer a revised Proust-style Questionnaire – not because we think it’s a good idea to edit Marcel Proust, but because Victorian parlor games are more fun than they sound. Enjoy getting to know Simon!
