About
I’m a JavaScript & React front-end developer with a background in architecture and 3d visualisation. A typical day for me includes reading up on the latest technologies & standards, hacking away at my current project/s and trying to learn at least one new thing.
My top strengths are empathy and learning agility, I’m highly detail-oriented and take ownership of my work. I enjoy creating visually engaging interactions, organising complex data and building simple and elegant things.
