Former Logistics Manager turned Full-Stack Web Developer. I have a strong background in relational database design and I enjoy developing solutions to real-world problems.

I am proficient with modern web development languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript/ES6, TypeScript, and Sass and front-end frameworks such as Angular, React, and Vue. On the back-end, I am familiar with technologies like Node.js and Express and databases such as MySQL, Postgres, and MongoDB.
