ABOUT
I'm a Manchester-based Developer, crafting digital products for businesses and consumers. With confidence and curiosity, I continuously improve my skills. Let's create something remarkable
Skills
I specialize in JavaScript and React, with a solid grasp of JS fundamentals and years of experience building React applications. While my core expertise lies in front-end development, I also venture into full-stack JavaScript using AWS, Node.js, and TypeScript to create robust APIs.
In addition, I possess a strong understanding of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript. I have utilized various CSS pre-processors and methodologies, particularly SASS and the BEM CSS methodology. This versatile skill set enables me to swiftly adapt to different technologies and tackle any challenge that comes my way.
Other
I had the honor of delivering a lightning talk at the UpFront conference in 2019. My presentation focused on Node, Express, and the common pitfalls that lead to project failures. It served as a comprehensive guide to creating your own APIs using front-end technologies.
Outside the office
Beyond work, I am a fitness enthusiast, embracing various fitness activities. Currently, I'm deeply invested in CrossFit and Olympic lifting, but my interests can swiftly change based on my training goals. Presently, I'm preparing for local gym competitions and the Hyrox fitness competition.
As a new dad, I'm also navigating the joys and challenges of parenthood alongside my fitness and coding pursuits.
To stay up-to-date, I enjoy working on small development projects, constantly expanding my skill set. Whether it's diving into C# or exploring the possibilities of D3, I am always eager to learn and grow with diverse technologies.
