Hi, my name is David Ensinger and I’m a Front End Developer with equal parts interest in design, development, and writing.
I develop websites that are well designed, useable, and adhere to modern standards and accessibility requirements. I’m also no slouch at writing documentation, leading training, and providing ongoing support. My clients and co-workers will vouch that I play well with others too.
I’m currently employed by CITYTECH, Inc, a global IT consultancy. Previously I worked for The Ohio State University Libraries. In a past life I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Republic of Moldova. I graduated from the Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business with a B.S. in Business Administration with a specialization in Finance.
I am interested in the liberal arts, finance and investing, and staying physically fit and eating well. I also really enjoy living in Columbus, Ohio.
For my personal web presence, see the Republic of the Spirit.
If you have any questions, comments, or would just like to say hello, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. I’ll be sure to respond in a timely manner!
This website is made on a MacBook Air, designed in browser with Chrome, and styled with Sass. All code is written in Sublime Text 2 with an accompanying EditorConfig file to maintain consistency between coding styles and IDEs. The type is set in Open Sans, which is served by Google Web Fonts. Posts are composed in Markdown and syntax is highlighted with Pygments.
The site is published with Jekyll, with dependencies managed by Bundler. Assets are compressed with Reduce by Michael Grosser. Hosting is kindly provided by GitHub Pages (view the code), while the code is compiled and committed into version control by iTerm2 and Git, respectively.
A number of supporting plugins and code snippets for Jekyll are used with the site:
- Jekyll Templates for Atom, RSS by Dave Coyle
- Open Graph for Jekyll by Pat Hawks
- Paginate Like a Boss by Terry Schmidt
- sitemap.xml by Toni Uebernickel
A couple Sass mixins proved integral to the scaffolding of the site:
In addition, I consulted the following resources for both inspiration and best practices:
