Front End Developer & Web Designer

Hello! I’m Michael Raffaele, a passionate freelance Front End Developer & Web Designer based in Melbourne.

I design and develop websites and pride myself on writing clean, semantic and optimised HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I’ve worked with content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and Silverstripe.

I’m loud, enthusiastic, creative and have been told I’m super easy to work with.
