Senior Front-End DeveloperViget Labs
Blake Walters, Senior Front-End Developer, started programming at age eight. After mastering the wisdom of the book "Creating Websites with Microsoft Word" from Sam's Club when he was twelve, Blake went on to get a degree in Computer Science from the University of Missouri. He has since become an accomplished leader of standards-based development. At Viget, Blake is responsible for doing awesome front-end development and for helping to define our standards for semantic markup, clean CSS, and unobtrusive JavaScript. His work day starts and ends with scripts he's written to maximize efficiency and reduce redundancy -- oh, and to leave more time for video games.
Away from work, you can find Blake playing 2d fighter games and following international auto racing. He occasionally ponders the question, "If the internet didn't exist, what kind of work would I choose to do?" but has yet to come up with an answer.
