TECHNOLOGIST, DEVELOPER, CREATOR

Hello. I'm Xander, a prototype developer located in Boulder, CO.

A bit about my

SKILLSET

I like to think of myself as a front-end generalist. On a day-to-day basis, I may be building user interface widgets in Unreal Engine, creating development tools, vetting new software, or producing Rive assets for a seamless engineering handoff.

CAREER

I'm a prototype developer in Digital Product Design at Ford Motor Company. I support the design, production-ready asset creation, and technical implementation of in-vehicle and mobile interfaces.

SELF

I love to advance my interactive creativity and knowledge of front-end technologies. I thrive on new challenges and am incredibly enthusiastic about my work. Outside of work, you will likely find me drawing, at a car show, or in the mountains.
