Greetings, and welcome to my digital space!
My name is James Lau, a dedicated front-end web developer based in Boston. I’ve honed my expertise in front-end development, channeling my energies toward crafting compelling user interfaces and elevating user experiences through innovative development practices by blending my background skills in graphic design.
