Jay is a front-end developer who has seen all the web versions go great.

• You may remember me as Jeni Grant.
• I was one of the first wave of web based user experience (UX) designers and helped design and develop some pretty cool stuff at Koroberi, Sports Endeavors, iContact, Lowes Hardware, and more.
• I've been developing Javascript for 25 years, HTML and CSS longer than that. I will always be a little perplexed that Brendan Eich's spaghetti is now what the Internet runs on.
• I have 20 years of experience in developing for analytics and data discovery. I know a lot about things like collection, refinement, brokering. When people ask me what I do at parties they often walk away slightly gray in the gills.
• I'm great at parties! (no not really)
• I don't much like what the analytics space has turned into and would love to shift my career to work in research with social justice organizations.
• Yes, I'm Highly Opinionated™ about a lot of things.
• I'm disabled. There's a list of what's wrong with me. It's long. Half dozen autoimmune illnesses, AuADHD, and an opossum in a trenchcoat. I talk about being disabled from time to time.
• The opossum's name is Jim. We don't talk about Jim.
• I'm queer. ⚧️🏳️‍🌈 I also talk about being LGBTQ+ from time to time.
• I view emoji with suspicion. It may move. <sidelong stare>
• I can't spell. I grammar good. My quotation marks are rarely smart. I abuse parenthesis and em-dashes. I'm in a passionate love affair with semi-colons. I adore language and linguistics and do gloriously horrible things to both.
• I built this site using Eleventy
