Guten Tag!

I am Mikael C. Fritts currently based in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I am a Full Stack Web Designer and ITSM Manager working for Central Piedmont Community College for over ten years in Charlotte, North Carolina. Focusing primarily on web design reflects my commitment to crafting seamless digital experiences. I meticulously consider layout, color, and user interface elements to create websites that captivate visually and guide users effortlessly. My passion for web design motivates me to stay updated on emerging trends and technologies, ensuring my work remains innovative in the ever-evolving digital landscape.

Additionally, my knowledge of IT Service Management (ITSM) is extensive, covering both theoretical frameworks and practical application. With a profound understanding of ITIL principles, I optimize service delivery, incident resolution, and change management processes to enhance organizational efficiency.

What I Do

I am a seasoned Full Stack Web Designer with over 20 years of experience in creating high-quality websites that are not only visually appealing but also functional and scalable. My expertise lies in building semantic, responsive websites that prioritize usability and accessibility, ensuring that they provide a seamless experience for all users, regardless of device or ability. I adhere to best practices in coding, following the guidelines set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure that each site I create meets modern web standards. From front-end design to back-end development, I am committed to delivering professional, future-proof solutions tailored to the unique needs of each project.

In addition to my primary focus, I have experience as an ITSM Software Analyst, specializing in deploying and maintaining asset, knowledge, and service management systems, particularly within higher education settings.

I am a strong advocate for web accessibility, following guidelines such as Section 508, the Web Accessibility nitiative (WAI), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2 & 2.1), WAI-ARIA, and A11Y. I specialize in hand-coding cross-browser compatible, standards-compliant HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript Frameworks, with a focus on accessibility and usability.

Extremely committed to a web that works for everyone.

Getting a bit personal...

When I’m not designing or developing, I spend an unhealthy amount of time following auto racing. I am an avid Formula 1 fan (McLaren!!!), as well as keeping up with Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series. I am also a pro-am driver, racing for Mishimoto Motorsport in Time Attack Trials in both the SCCA and NASA.

I’ll never turn down a good cold beer, a great steak, or a weekend at the beach. I like to think of myself as a pretty decent cook, but you know what they say about the eye of the beholder. I also enjoy reading, binge watching questionable programs, and pretending to know what I’m doing in Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Coding

I write code analyzing user needs and troubleshooting issues collaboratively.

ITSM

Ensure IT services are efficient and aligned with organizational goals, often using ITIL frameworks.

Accessibility

I create accessible websites for all users, including those with disabilities.

Interface Design

My designs focus on creating user-friendly layouts for software and websites.
