Junior Full Stack Developer | MERN | React | Node.js | TypeScript | Jest | Data & Automation
I’m a developer who pivoted into engineering after years managing £1.8M worth of client accounts taught me how to solve problems under pressure. One line of JavaScript hooked me — and I’ve since built complete full-stack applications, strengthened my fundamentals through an edX bootcamp, and am now deepening my skills through a Computer Science degree at Goldsmiths.
I build practical, production-minded applications with a strong focus on clean UI, data flows, API integration, and automated testing.
JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript, SQL, HTML5, CSS3
React.js (Hooks, Context), Tailwind CSS, SASS, Bootstrap, Responsive Design
Node.js, Express, MongoDB, REST APIs, JWT Authentication
Jest (primary), Vitest (secondary), React Testing Library
Git/GitHub (branching, PRs), NPM, Vite, CI/CD, Vercel, Render, Netlify
