Derek Wood → : Designer, Developer, Educator

Hello! For the last five years, I've been running Perpetual Education, a cohort-based program teaching full-stack web development and design. The program is now self-paced and self-sustaining.

You could say I've been doing "web dev" since Flash in 2000, but I really started getting serious in 2011. Design systems, component architectures, interactive content, accessible interfaces, and all the messy stuff in between. I work across design and engineering, and I'm most valuable where those overlap.

Now I'm looking for the right team. I want to do collaborative product work at a place where the mission matters.

You can email me at derek@sheriffderek.consulting

I'm @sheriffderek most places. My real name is Derek Wood.

I live in South Pasadena (Los Angeles). You can find me at the LA Design and Dev meetup, Maybe the JavaScript meetup, or come to my weekly Open office hours.

That's all! Nothing more to see here folks, (for now)
