About Me

I am a self-taught Junior Front End Developer that is resourceful, approachable, proactive, and self-reliant.

I have experience working independently and as part of a team, providing me with numerous transferable skills throughout my career that have helped me reach professional success and many personal accomplishments.

I have been involved with Front End Development since 2019; using HTML, CSS (SCSS), and JavaScript. I also have experience using frameworks such as React and Vue, additional to backend technologies such as Node.js, Express.js, mongoDB, and MySQL. I have used Python briefly for a cryptocurrency project, and I am currently working towards a PHP and MYSQL certification. I aim in the future to implement Test Driven Development in my work and become more proficient with backend development.

I am always ready to take on challenges and like to stay busy in my spare time through learning and proactive hobbies, including Web development, trading Crypto-Currency / Stocks and Shares, making music, cooking, and playing online collaborative team games. I also cycle to keep fit, and I am a keen swimmer.

Why Develop for Web?

ᐅ The Web is a major aspect of everyone’s lives, it's a key to spreading knowledge, facilitating business services, and providing a platform for socialising online.

ᐅ I have gained many transferable skills from my experience in Cancer Diagnosis Laboratories and in Software Development Recruitment. However, I want to dedicate the rest of my career to Web development.

ᐅ I joined Software Development Recruitment to understand more about the career that I always wanted to get into. I have since learnt that it is a career with longevity, facilitating creativity, communication, and problem solving.

ᐅ Web technology is always changing and evolving. It involves cutting edge software innovation, lightweight builds, and performant software development (Node.js web / desktop apps, cloud hosting, multiplatform app release).

ᐅ It's a multi-platform environment where apps are accessible anywhere over the Internet at any time (as long as you have a reliable internet connection 👀).
