Hello, I'm

Mike Young

Front-End Developer & Designer

I’ve spent the last 19 years bridging the gap between product design and engineering.
From establishing robust brand identities to architecting high-performance front ends, I focus on building accessible web experiences that balance clean aesthetic style with technical efficiency.

I thrive in the space where design systems meet production-ready code. My approach relies on web fundamentals—leveraging semantic structures, lean layout architecture, and fluid responsive design to eliminate client-side bloat. Whether I'm mapping a frictionless multi-step user flow or optimizing templates for maximum conversion and speed, I ensure the presentation layer is as highly performant as it is visually polished.

I am a front end web developer, ui/ux designer, geek, father, and retro gaming enthusiast.

I love to both build and break things. I am motivated by challenging projects with self-guided research and dynamic problem solving. My true passion is crafting creative front end designs with unique takes on color, typography and motion.

I currently work as a front end developer at ScalePad, where I do design and development in the SaaS space.
