Here's a quick overview about me.

I am a skilled Full Stack Developer with a passion for creating dynamic and user-friendly web applications. With a background in hospitality, management, and recruitment, I've spent the last few years honing in on my people skills and developed a strong foundation in team collaboration, project management, and problem-solving. I specialize in React, Node.js and Ruby on Rails and have a growing expertise in TypeScript and Next.js. I thrive under tight deadlines and enjoy continuously learning and adapting to overcome challenges. Outside of tech, I'm an avid fan of outdoor activities, particularly skiing, and I'm always eager to connect with others who share my enthusiasm for innovation and the great outdoors.
