Why?
Energy Consumption: websites with a lot of graphics, animations, and videos contribute to higher carbon emissions from data centers and servers as they require more energy to load and render.
Accessibility: with lots of visual elements, it can sometimes be hard to navigate for people with colour blindness or visual impairments.
Page Speed: shortening the loading times does not only improve the UX but also reduces the time users spend waiting for pages to load, which can save energy and reduce carbon emissions.

Full Stack Developer
I am a full stack developer with a passion for education, web accessibility, sustainable development and security.
[ Skills ]
Throughout my career I have maintained the importance of having a strong foundation in the basics, before delving into various programming languages & frameworks.
Once I developed a solid understanding of Object Oriented Programming, Model View Controller, workflows, coding styles and learning the best practices of each, I was able to pick up frameworks and programming languages without issue. I have been coding now for 7 years, & as I continue to discover new techniques and build on others, I am committed to being a lifelong learner in programming.

[ About ]
My name is Victor Luna and I am a full stack developer currently based in Toronto, ON. I have a B.Sc. in Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT), a pogram that combines technology, art and design to create and innovate in a collaborative team setting.
For the past several years I have been working in building reliable, scalable and interesting web applications. Some of the applications I have built include intranets, content management systems, costumer relationship management systems, motor management systems, among others. These application were coded using current web technologies such as PHP, Ruby on Rails, Javascript, CSS, HTML, MySQL and APIs. I have a passion for technology and what I do with it. I try to solve today’s complex problems and bridge the gap between technology and what it can do for people.
