Justin W. Edwards
Front-End Web Designer / Developer
My name is Justin Edwards and I'm a 30 year old front end dev living and working in Tyler, Texas. I'm pretty darn good at taking site designs from psd to html + css and I especially like to work on the front end of rails apps.
For fun I like to make and play retro video games, skateboard really badly, and spend time with my family.
