Hello world!

Originally from West Yorkshire, I moved to London after graduating from University to find work. Unfortunately, all the opportunities seem to be in the capital. After living in London for over 8 years and starting my career, now I have settled in Manchester, closer to home since I now work from home.

With expertise/experience in front-end development including the likes of React, JavaScript and PHP. I am well-equipped to tackle a wide range of web development projects, including my current positon where I work primarily with software. With several years and experience in different areas, my experience has given me a unique perspective and adaptability to work in diverse environments and different types of businesses.

As a UI developer, my focus is on creating/tweaking user interfaces that are visually appealing, intuitive, and user-friendly.
I work closely with designers and other developers to implement the front-end components of a website or application.

Welcome
