🌱 I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer, and I'm passionate about building websites, applications, and technical projects that make a difference. As a creative thinker, my web development journey is driven by a love for learning, the impact of small changes, and the importance of community and collaboration.
🎒 I'm a proud graduate of Simon Fraser University (SFU) in BC, Canada, where I studied Software Systems (a branch of Computing Science) and Interactive Arts and Technology! I'm also proud to have graduated from BrainStation Vancouver, where I completed their web development bootcamp in early 2024.
👀 With around 7 years of professional experience in the tech industry—3 of which have been dedicated to web and software development—I have contributed to the field in various capacities, including web development, technical writing, teaching, program facilitation, and developer relations.
💡 This diverse background continues to fuel my passion for creating meaningful, human-centered digital experiences. Witnessing coding projects come to life and benefit the end-user has been what has kept me motivated.
Throughout my career, I've worked with a variety of tools and technologies that enable me to bring ideas to life:
- Web Technologies: HTML5, CSS3, SASS, TailwindCSS, HTTP, JSON, Document Object Model (DOM) APIs, REST APIs
- Frameworks and Libraries: React, Express.js, Axios, Remix.run
- Languages: JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, Python, PHP
- Design and Prototyping: Figma, Canva, Webflow, Squarespace, Responsive Design
- Back-end and Database: Node.js, MySQL, PocketBase
- Developer Tools: Git, GitHub, Heroku, Vite, Postman, Cloudflare Pages, Browser DevTools
- Editors and IDEs: Visual Studio Code (VS Code), Atom
- Project Management and Collaboration: JIRA, Slack, Confluence, Notion, Agile Development
I'm proud of the projects I've developed, which showcase my ability to blend creativity with functionality:
- 1nterview: A video recording web platform for job seekers and recruiters, where I've contributed as a startup co-founder and full-stack developer. Built with React, Remix.run, TailwindCSS, Node, Express, PocketBase, and Cloudflare Pages.
- ComposeCanvas: A songwriting web app designed for musicians and songwriters in helping turn their ideas into songs. Built with React, SASS, Node, Express, and OpenAI.
- QuizMe: An educational mobile application for students to study for quizzes and tests using flashcards and games. Built in Android Studio.
I have been coding on GitHub for nearly ten years, engaging in a variety of learning, teaching, and development endeavours. My activity showcases consistent hands-on experience through personal projects, coursework, and collaborations, rather than solely focusing on public open-source contributions.
- 📊 Approximately 1,300 commits across both long-term and iterative projects, demonstrating steady growth and hands-on experience over the years.
- 🗂️ Contributions to 14 active codebases and a total of 24 repositories, which include a blend of polished public projects and private, in-progress work.
- 📝 A strong emphasis on creating code and documentation that is both maintainable and readable.
I'm also currently ranked 5 kyu on Codewars, a platform where developers enhance their coding skills by solving challenges (called "kata"). My 5 kyu rank reflects an intermediate level of problem-solving ability, where I tackle complex algorithms, data structures, and real-world programming problems. This experience helps me write more efficient, reliable, and maintainable code in my projects.
I’m always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and discussions! Feel free to reach out to me through any of the platforms below:
I'm always on the lookout for web development opportunities and related areas. If you think I'd be a great fit for your team or company, I'd love to hear from you!
I'm also open to smaller projects and giving back to the tech community through mentoring and teaching. Let's meet for coffee to chat, get help with a website, or talk about possible collaborations.
When I'm not deep in code, you'll often find me exploring another passion of mine—music. I love writing songs and translating thoughts into melodies. I enjoy writing and recording my original songs and sharing them with friends and the wider community.
I also believe in giving back to the tech community, whether it's mentoring at hackathons, teaching coding to kids, or volunteering at tech socials. I find that inspiring the next generation of developers is fulfilling!
Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to explore my repositories, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you’d like to collaborate or just chat.
