I taught myself how to code in the summer of 2014. I was under an opera contract away from home. The rehearsal schedule was grueling. And I experienced some pretty impressive insomnia. I desperately needed an activity to help me wind down from singing—something quiet yet productive, still creative yet altogether different.

Now I specialize in web ethics: building fast, lightweight, accessible, secure sites and applications. I’m an outspoken advocate for vanilla JavaScript and Jamstack techniques. I helped found the [Jamstack Chicago MeetUp®](https://www.netlify.com/). And I’ve created an interdisciplinary course for the Martin D. Walker School of Engineering at Olivet Nazarene University called “[Ethical Web Development](/comp-496/).”

This site, for example, is built with the static site generator [Eleventy](https://11ty.dev/) and hosted by [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/). Feel free to check out the [documentation pages](/docs/) and [source code](https://gitlab.com/reubenlillie/reubenlillie.com/).

[Let’s make something meaningful together](/contact/).
  
Here’s a sample of coding projects I’ve contributed to or created.
