Want to get to know me?
I am a Frontend developer with 8+ years experience living in Queenstown, New Zealand. I graduated with a Diploma of Web Development and Interactive Design from the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts in 2016. I have always had an interest in creative technologies and really enjoy building cool things. Being a web developer was a natural fit for me, I love the community and pace of change that the internet provides.
I have an outgoing and sociable personality and enjoy working in team environments. I will often get lost spending hours working on new projects, but at the same time value my down time. I am particularly passionate about web accessibility and have a keen eye for detail.
I enjoy working closely with designers in the team to create pixel perfect applications. My current skilsets are primarily React & Javascript in general. I have been heavily involved in agile development and am proficient in Git flow. My proudest personal achievement was speaking on a panel at Queenswood School for Girls about women in tech. Feel free to contact me to discuss how I would make a great addition your team.
