Thanks for taking the time to check out my site! Below you'll find a list of some of my favourite languages and frameworks/libraries, along with a snapshot of what I'm learning at the moment (I love discovering new tools and technologies 👨‍💻).

As a Full Stack Developer, I combine a mastery of Frontend languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), frameworks (Angular, Bootstrap) and libraries (React, jQuery) with a strong grasp of Backend programming (Python+Flask) and database management systems (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).

By choosing to hire me, you'll be getting a dedicated and resourceful team player with a keen eye for design and a deep understanding of UX best practices.

I'm always looking for new challenges and opportunities, so feel free to get in touch today!
