Hello

Ash Burks headshot

I am a Web Developer at the University of Florida Information Technology.
My responsibility is to create and maintain accessible and user-friendly web applications. As standards and best practices evolve, I strive to keep our web presence up-to-date and inclusive. I graduated from Santa Fe College in August of 2025 with an Associate of Science in Programming and Analysis. I plan to expand my skill set and knowledge in the field, and eventually go back to pursue my Bachelor's degree.
My specialty lies in accessibility and university scale web applications, but I also have a passion for creating artistic and visually appealing websites.
