Personal blurb

I'm a fullstack web developer with a preference for front-end web development. I take pride in my exceptional work ethic, professionalism, resourcefulness and ability to provide solutions.

I've been using computers since I was about 6 years old, put up my first website when I was 12 years old, and have previously been a professional software developer for approximately a decade. I now focus on Web Development.

I previously studied software development at CTI and I'm currently about to finish my 2nd year in a BSc Informatics through Unisa (part-time).

I love teaching people programming/web development. I'm a web developer mentor in my free time and I have assisted other companies in developing their course material. I have also started a YouTube channel that will focus on programming education. I plan to release a 100% free web development course in the distant future.

I ❤️ the ocean and go for daily swims with my dogs 🐶 and my daughter 👧 to clear the mind. My other interests include composing music (I hold a diploma in music production and music business), graphic design, programming games and snorkelling/skin-diving/scuba-diving.

Skill Set

I am highly skilled at translating a design, such as from Figma or Zeplin, into pixel-perfect code efficiently and with cleanliness.

I am fully setup to work remotely. I have a high-performance computer and laptop, with backup machines for both. I also have a 200mbps Fibre connection with backup mobile data.

My skills include:

  • HTML/CSS
  • JavaScript
  • React
  • Gatsby
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Jest & react-testing-library
  • styled-components (or other CSS-in-JS frameworks)
  • Git
  • Contentful

My soft skills include:

  • Exceptional work ethic
  • Good team player
  • Able to take criticism well
  • Proficient in English and can communicate effectively
