Bramus is a web developer from Belgium. He\u2019s part of the Chrome Developer Relations<\/strong> team at Google, focusing on CSS, Web UI, and DevTools.

    #<\/a> Contact<\/h3>\n

    The easiest way to reach Bramus is to catch him on \ud83e\udd8b Bluesky as @bram.us<\/a> or on \ud83e\udda3 Mastodon as @bramus@front-end.social<\/a>. Although my DMs are open, it\u2019s preferred to have an open conversation so that other people can also benefit from it. He still has an account on \ud835\udd4f<\/a> from back when it was called Twitter, but nowadays he\u2019s only lurking on that platform.<\/p>\n

    If you’re having an issue\/question with\/about one of his open source projects<\/a> it’s recommended to raise an issue in the proper GitHub repository.<\/p>\n
