My name is Bogdan Alexandru Carlugea and I am an experienced Senior Front-end developer based in Bolton, United Kingdom. My heart is in front end development, coding HTML / XHTML and CSS and implementing jQuery for animation and functionality.

I also love trying new techniques and coding websites using HTML5 and CSS3, although the specification for HTML5 has not been finalised and CSS3 is gradually being implemented. I'm focused on semantics, accessibility, usability and I have the ability to test and debug my code for cross browser/platform compatibility.

I am an efficient, well-grounded and accomplished individual who can work well alone, as part of a team and in leadership positions, across multiple projects simultaneously. I aim for the highest standard in all areas of my work, always looking to improve and assist others to deliver amazing results.
