Hi there!

My name is Richard Gil,
I'm a creative technologist and it's nice to meet you!

I’m passionate about the web, about developing thoughtful solutions, and about making an impact, through code and leadership, on the lives around me.

Also coffee, I love coffee...

I've been working in the web industry since 2003 as a freelancer, full-time developer and leader. I enjoy building things, solving problems and helping others grow in their careers. The last few years were spent leading a team of developers and designers, helping clients solve their digital needs and producing innovative web experiences.

You can learn more about the tools I use and work I have done below.
