About me

I began my software development journey in 2023 as a self-taught programmer before completing a full-time JavaScript bootcamp. Since then, I’ve gained 9 months of professional experience working on real-world projects; learning lots along the way, and collaborating with great people. I’m continuously practising and looking for ways to improve my approach.

I can work across the stack, but I’m currently specialising in frontend development. I enjoy creating intuitive user interfaces and building responsive, high-performance applications. I have a keen eye for refining smaller details to create polished user experiences.
