About me

My name is Lea Verou (actually, in official papers it’s Michaelia Komvouti-Verou, but who can bear to use such a long name in everyday life?) and I’m a front-end web developer currently living in Greece (but I travel a lot). I am the co-owner of a small company named Fresset Ltd. A picture of myself on stage, during my Fronteers talk in October 2011At the same time, I study Computer Science in Athens University of Economics and Business. I am passionate about JavaScript and CSS3, so this blog is mostly devoted to them. I also speak about them in conferences and meetups around the world. You can email me at lea@verou․me (don’t copy/paste the email, it won’t work. You didn’t think I would post it like that in the open for all bots to see, right? ;) ). Please note however that I am too busy to accept web design/development projects for clients at the time, so if you wanted to contact me about one, don’t bother unless it’s something small (for example a CSS challenge you can’t solve yourself, I love those little projects).

About the blog style:

This theme is heavily based on experimental CSS3 properties, so it will look better in more CSS3-supporting browsers (modern versions of every browser). I did devote some time to make it look OK in older browsers but given that this is my personal blog, I wanted it’s design to be fun for me, and browser incompatibilities aren’t much fun, as you probably know already. :P
