Vahagn is a full-stack JavaScript developer with nearly a decade of experience in all things JavaScript. Vahagn loves building beautiful UIs with HTML, CSS, and by adding just enough client-side JavaScript to make web app fully functional, performant, accessible, and in par with the designer-provided UI and UX. A Node.js server, working on the server-side, typically powers these projects and of which Vahagn is also capable of implementing.
