Skills

I've worked with multiple technologies as a developer to develop & maintain my projects.

• JavaScript

  This is my bread and butter as a frontend dev.

• ReactJS

  For 5 years I have been a devout ReactJS programmer.

• HTML & CSS

  Frontend is not just JS and logic. Yes, I am a pixel pusher.

• NextJS

  My newest fave! NextJS is the best for SSR for React apps, and so much more.

• Serverless

  Serverless is the new black. Vercel and NextJS makes it very easy.

• TypeScript

  Why use just JavaScript when you can have types?

• NodeJS

  JavaScript on the backend? Yes please! While I mostly do frontend, I know my way around Node.

• Firebase

  I have used Firebase for auth, database & real-time data.

• Git

  Git is a tool that I use every day. I use GitHub for pushing my code and project management.
