I built my first website back in 2001, in the days when every project began with an 800px parent table and responsive design wasn’t even a concept yet. Internet Explorer dictated the rules, and half the work involved battling infamous issues like the IE6 double-margin bug.
Over the years, I've learned that strong CSS isn't just about knowing the syntax, it's about understanding how design systems, component architecture, accessibility, and responsive strategy work together. Modern CSS enables scalable, maintainable interfaces, and I enjoy bridging the gap between thoughtful design and the technical implementation that brings it to life.
CSS has evolved dramatically from simple niceties like rounded corners to powerful tools such as flexbox, grid, media queries, and modern selectors. These advancements make it easy to craft polished, responsive layouts using native CSS alone. But as products grow and teams scale, frameworks like Bootstrap or Tailwind help bring structure, consistency, and shared patterns to the development process.
I've worked with a long list of CSS frameworks, each with its own strengths and quirks. Most recently, my work has focused on Bootstrap, Tailwind, and Bulma, giving me hands-on experience with both component-driven and utility-first approaches.
I have used it now for over 10 years, great for fast prototyping and ready-made components.
I like Tailwind because I would consider it more of a framework and not just a CSS toolkit which is needed for larger projects / teams.
Lightweight framework and simple UIs. Easy Flexbox grid with no JS dependency.
