About me
I'm a frontend developer with roots in design - so if you love pixel perfect layouts... same here!
I started out as a designer many years ago, creating and implementing accessible landing pages in HTML and CSS, and designing advertising materials in Photoshop and Illustrator.
As the online world has changed, so has my skillset. Over the years I levelled up my knowledge by learning to code with Javascript and later React, Next.js as well as TypeScript.
I have since been creating user-friendly applications ranging from web to tablet and mobile.
In my spare time, I’m usually drawing, learning Korean (or Chinese), playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends, annoying my cat, or running around in Baldurs Gate searching for infernal iron and healing potions.
