Lindsay is Go Daddy’s Senior JavaScript Developer and Advocate. Despite having worked on all tiers from database to front-end and on platforms from WinForms to Web, Lindsay’s passion for creating feature-rich, beautiful user interfaces, which are both elegant from the user’s perspective and in the context of code, keeps her focused mostly on client-side development.
Lindsay is also a self-proclaimed “Widget Herder” and has spent a good portion of her career creating encapsulated bits of functionality in various platforms for reuse across multiple projects as well as frameworks to support them. She was the architect, prototype builder, and primary developer for a widget framework that is currently used by two of the most popular site building products at Go Daddy and serving more than 1.5M websites daily.
Lindsay joined Go Daddy in March 2008 and recently moved into a role at Go Daddy that combines her love of JavaScript with her knack for widget building and is creating JavaScript modules for use throughout the company, both internally and for customer facing products as a joint effort with Go Daddy’s UX team to standardize components. Besides the development responsibilities, she acts as a JavaScript advocate: building a community within Go Daddy to share knowledge, code and best practices as well as providing support and mentoring to individual developers and teams.
When not sitting in front of a computer, Lindsay can be found on her iPad in perpetual connection to the internet. When she can tear herself away from the spectacle of the world online, she spends time with her family (husband and teenage son) and pets (two dogs and two birds), training or teaching kids classes at her Aikido dojo, fooling with iPhonography, creating digital art or photo touch-ups in Photoshop, building websites for fun and profit, or watching entire seasons of Sci-Fi TV series on Netflix.
