About
My curiosity and longing for innovation drives my thirst for learning. My love of team success inspires me to become the ultimate team player.
Away from the keys, you will find me flying down a hill on a mountain bike, playing board games (Codenames or Dutch Blitz), or drinking coffee (Flight, Peoples or Kōkako).

This is my current passion project. It's a CRUD app to keep track of your favorite coffee roasts and the recipes you used to brew them. With that record, you can pick up a roast you've had in the past and get the perfect brew. I'm trying to keep things simple while building out the app; with an Angular front-end and an express back-end. I have plans on rebuilding the same app with SvelteKit to explore the differences.

This is a very simple Angular app to explore different number base systems. Made out of curiosity and a want to practice deployment. As of April 2025, this has had a re-write with the latest v19 Angular.

This was my final week-long project at Dev Academy. In a group of six, I focused largely on Redux and communication between our server and front-end. It's the most fun I've had frantically hacking at making a Twitter clone from scratch! A real highlight was our implementation to achieve "real-time" feeds which we dubbed "scuffed web-sockets".

Create pixel art in your GitHub contribution graph! This was my first bigger personal project. Written in vanilla HTML, CSS and JS to challenge the cliche create-react-app. I'm planning on revisiting this with the goal of re-writing to be solely client-side based and then getting it deployed.
