I'm currently a full-stack engineer in an in-house tech shop in the finance industry. I have 3+ year experience in a Tokyo-based Web Design Agency where I built and maintained over 50 websites for a myriad of clients across multipled industries.
Outside of coding, I like music, anime, exploring new places and photographing moody streets.
I am passionate about the user-experience when building features, I'm really into CSS and semantic markup and I actively champion for intuitive and accessible UX. I'm a big believer that we should always strive to write and leave behind clean, maintainable and understandable code.
I have a great eye for detail when translating design mocks into pixel-perfect and responsive code. I also love great interaction design and building animations with GSAP.
Since then, I have graduated top of my class from the Japan Electronics College with a Diploma in Web Design, then joined a team of enthusiastic designers and developers at Tokyo-based web design studio, where I built and maintained over 50 projects for a myriad of clients in airlines, large manufacturers and retailers, real estate, and financial industries.
See work I've doneI transitioned to a role as Full-Stack Engineer in 2023 after moving back to New Zealand. In my role, I regularly use React/Typescript for the front end, sometimes C# for APIs (we call it our backend-for-front-end), to increase digital enablement of our company's services through the customer portal app.
You can find me dumping my brain out here in my blog, mostly musings about web development and things I've learnt on my coding journey, but also about cool places for eating and traveling, rambling about random Japan stuff.
And now I want to rebuild it...
Reflecting on how this project has helped me, and what I've learnt from this project after leaving it alone for a year, the good and bad and the mistakes.
