I'm a developer/designer from Southern California, with a strong focus in front end development. New experiences allows me to learn from my surroundings. I've done more than 300+ projects working for Quotit (an Allstate company) and delivered over 1500 websites to Quotit customers. My time at Quotit has allowed me to grow beyond my wildest dreams, you can see samples of my work on the portfolio section of this website.

Hi! I'm Roberto Gaona, a creative developer that pays attention to business requirements. My expertise ranges in software development, front end development, Ui/Ux, web design, SEO & marketing, graphics and product packaging design.
Business needs are diverse and unique, creating tailored solutions allows me to be creative and think outside-the-box. I make good things happen for great people. Roberto Gaona
Roberto was a great boss. He kept a positive attitude at all times and always pushed me to learn new things. I've learned a lot from working with Roberto! Arthur Marquez | MGE Company
Roberto not only created a great mobile friendly website for my business, he also implemented a very successful SEO plan that boosted my online presence and ranking! Randy | EliteSafe.net
I use Angular, NG Zorro, Bootstrap, HTML and CSS to create compelling user interfaces that not only look nice but also offer simplistic usuability.
I use modern code practices in delivering a clean, fast and mobile friendly website. I've done custom WordPress development and custom forms that deliver on business requirements.
I use Adobe's Creative Suite to deliver magazine ads, product packaging, printed banners and online marketing ads all within time.
I'm proficient in PHP, MySQL, JSON and XML. I've built applications that tie into API's where data is then manipulated and presented in a clear manner.
When mocking up a user interface, I've always leaned towards traditional sketching first. It allows rapid concepts to be shown in realtime, then those approved concepts are then translated to Adobe XD or Figma.
I've studied and grown-to-know Google's algorithm, so much so I've delivered successful page 1 SERP's to various customers - just ask Randy from EliteSafe.net.
