About Me

Bruce Gilbert

Hola! My name is Bruce Gilbert and I am a web developer & designer living in Durham North Carolina. My passions are web development/design, blogging/writing, exercise, eating healthy and always being in the present through meditation.

This website serves mainly to provide easy access to my portfolio, skill set information and resume. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and visit my About.Me page to learn more about me.

I consider myself a problem solver and I use my skills and experience to solve problems that business owners and hiring manager might have. A few of the larger firms that I have consulted for in the Raleigh/Durham area are Lenovo, Duke Energy, SAS Institute, Gander Outdoors and Fidelity Investments.

I have also worked and consulted for much smaller companies as well. Many of my smaller clients I found via UpWork.

Web accessibility is very important to me. I have taken the time to study and implement web accessability best practices on this site and other projects. Please check out the blog post I wrote on web accessibility.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS3) Grid Layout

You can do so many cool things using CSS3 animation techniques now that used to only be possible with JavaScript or Flash.
