About Me
I am an accomplished developer with a robust portfolio of successful projects that demonstrate my strong capacity for team collaboration and self-motivation. My JavaScript/TypeScript is the sharpest skill in my toolbox, whether in browser, Node.js or React Native environments. Beyond this, I've made contributions to projects across a diverse range of technologies like Kotlin, C# and Scala. Currently, I'm diving deep into Python, Postgres, Cloud and Ops, and exploring some low-code tools.
For me, programming is more than just a profession; it's a fulfilling journey that encompasses creativity, collaboration, technical prowess, and adaptability. It offers a platform to connect with users, influence businesses, and make a meaningful impact on people's lives. I'm a committed collaborator, thriving on exchanging ideas, imparting knowledge, and fostering a continuous learning environment.
I live in Durban, South Africa with my beautiful partner and son. I'm 33 years old and enjoy board sports, lifting weights and video games.
A staunch advocate for life-long learning, I'm dedicated to ongoing professional and personal development. Myers-Briggs Type: ENFJ.
