Who I am

I am a hard working, transparent, honest and dedicated team player in the work environment.

As team leader in my previous position at MIP, I was good at motivating my team, and leading by example, with belief in a strong work ethic. I am ambitious, competitive and always looking for learning opportunities. I am at my best when faced with new challenges within my field.

As a developer at SovTech, I was constantly being challenged with new problems to solve with new technologies.

I recently founded my own company, Appsolutely. It has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I build standalone projects in my proficient tech stack for clients, and contract for companies too.

I am always friendly, polite and professional.

  • HTML, JS & CSS

    HTML, Javascript and Css form the base of the hybrid mobile apps development and web development that I develop.

    I generally use Node when testing to spin up small local servers to connect my applications to if there is no real backend yet for them to connect to, and have a good understanding of how it works.

    I have completed a Udemy course on Angular 2 and am currently learning how to integrate Angular into mobile apps using Ionic.
