About me

Alesh Houdek

I’m Alesh Houdek, a front-end web developer and designer in Longmont, Colorado. I've been building websites for over 15 years, and programming in JavaScript for four years. Lately I have been focusing on building websites and making apps with React, Angular, and Laravel.

While working at the Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, Florida, I created their current website, with a bold full-page image homepage and a highly customized CMS. I also did lots of print design, marketing strategy, and IT for the 12+ staff.
