JARRET GABEL /

web developer

I develop internet things. Rising from the ashes of ActionSctipt,
my new BFF is JavaScript (I could just pinch its cheeks). Armed with
a cup of La Colombe & Sour Patch Kids, I'll develop rollover effects
with the best of 'em.

As the legend goes, I used black magic to turn my After Effects skills into Flash skills into JavaScript skills. I literally teleported from Tequila\ to Rokkan in 2009 during the Flash boom and now have happily settled into front-end development.

Considered an expert mouse & keyboard user, I spend my free time nerding around with new web technologies, gaming, guitar & complaining about NJ Transit. I have an extremely refined palate that can taste even the smallest differences between McDonald's and Wendy's sweet & sour. And if you wait long enough, there's a good chance you'll see me at Vanessa's Dumplings with a huge grin and a soy sauce stained shirt.
