Troy Niemeier's Portfolio

I fabricate functionality and experiences on the web, as well as behind the scenes.
I automate and abstract away tedious tasks while guzzling coffee beans.
I simplify serious messes and deploy humor off the cuff.
I design dynamic solutions to save from superfluous static fluff.
