Intro

What I am all about.

I have spent several years in Customer Service roles, but one year ago an unexpected event inspired me to get into front-end development and I am not going to lie, I love it! Maybe partly because I am a bit of a nerd? There is nothing greater than finding solutions to problems, creating something out of nothing by writing clean code and getting deep into the development process.

When I'm not working, I am usually spending time with my wife exploring the food scene in London, playing video games or binging on Netflix. I also love to cook!

If you believe that I can be of help to you and your organisation please get in touch or connect.

Expertise

Something about my skills.

01

HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript

I write clean and tidy code with comments to know exactly what is going on at a glance, nobody wants to waste their precious time.

02

Responsive

I work with mobile first approach and I always make sure that websites I create will run seamlessly on both small and large devices by using Bootstrap or writing code from scratch.

03

Intuitive

I give a strong emphasis for the ease of use, I like user friendly interfaces, intuitive UX/UI. I want to keep the user on the website for as long as it's required.

04

Teamwork and discipline

I will always help to the best of my ability, but I like to know that someone has my back too. Working as a team and collaborating is really important to me, after all it helps us to learn from one another.

05

Problem solving and GIT

Sometimes bugs are big and sometimes it's just that pesky, little semicolon that is missing. And Git? It's like using a time machine! I wish we could use "undo" in real life!

06

Personal development

I'm always looking for new things to learn, I like to keep myself busy and active.
