About Cory Gwin

I believe in websites that get out of the way of users and showcase information, products or make a task simple to complete. I believe strongly that process, unit testing, iteration, research and measurement are the keys to delivering such a product. As a web developer I strive to organize websites or apps so users can find content, understand the interface and ultimately focus on their tasks. To do this, I try to gain empathy for user needs, present solutions to problems clearly, follow patterns and constantly test these hypotheses until the largest possible audience is pleased.
