What I Do

My work is focused on fullstack web and mobile development.

Web Design

I am an experienced user of design software such as Figma, which is my go-to tool for designing mobile and web mockups.

API Development & Documentation

I have experience working in teams that develop simple to scalable APIs using REST and Graphql.

Frontend Web Development

I have worked with teams that leverage modern Javascript frameworks such as React and VueJS.

I also have experience working for clients with simpler HTML & CSS requirements.

DevOps Configuration & Maintenance

Building modern CI/CD pipelines for testing and deploying application software is part of my specialty.

Native App Development

I have previously designed, built and published apps on the Google Play Store.
