About Me

Hello! My name is Lucas Sanders. I began to make websites according to current best practices about eight years ago — before these methods became accepted as a practical standard in this line of work. Off the web, I’m a recent graduate of Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, where I graduated this past June with a double major in computer science and comparative religion. In addition to doing outside web development projects, I am currently working with Maine Rural Partners as their Communications Coordinator. This was originally a year-long post through an Americorps program, although I have agreed to renew that Americorps contract for a second year.

I also have a personal site. If you visit it, watch your step — as often as not, I use it to experiment with new technologies, which means that there are often pieces that don’t work so well.
