About me
My story
A Full-stack developer looking for opportunities to learn and grow. For the past 3 years i have been learning web development and creating projects, and since then I have continued to improve my skills as a developer, constantly learning and adapting to new technologies.
I have used JavaScript, React, Node and other tools/databases to create web-applications that are responsive, performant, and accessible. From developing smaller websites to full-stack applications, i have a set of skills that allow me to plan and create both front-end interfaces and back-end logic.
I am currently open to job opportunities where I can contribute as a team player, learn, and grow as a software developer and as a person. If you believe that I am a developer that will mesh well with your team and goals, please feel free to contact me!
