Personal profile

A Computer Science graduate from the University of Sussex. Based in Brighton, UK, I am a passionate developer with a strong focus on TypeScript and React, often working with Tanstack and Tailwind CSS. Using these tools, I have built both APIs and full-stack web applications using these technologies. I also have strong experience with SQL, Vue.js, C++ and Python, having completed numerous CodeWars and Project Euler challenges and created individual projects with the latter two. I have solid experience with Git and Linux-based environments, using Manjaro as my primary operating system. I very much enjoy collaborating in a team environment and learning from others, but also love working on personal projects in my spare time.
