About Me
Get to know me better
I'm a frontend developer who combines technical skills with experience in education and design. I completed a JavaScript Software Development Bootcamp at Northcoders, where I built a full-stack property booking platform like Airbnb using React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I've also enhanced my skills through courses with Code First Girls and continue building projects independently. My teaching experience has equipped me with strong problem-solving and communication skills that I now apply to writing clean, efficient code and collaborating effectively with development teams. I'm currently volunteering with a Women in Coding community, helping others while continuing to expand my own technical expertise. I'm passionate about creating accessible, user-focused web applications and am seeking a Frontend or Full-Stack Developer role where I can contribute to meaningful projects while growing alongside experienced developers.

AirbNC Property Booking Platform (UK Stays)
I built a full-stack property booking platform called UK Stays, similar to Airbnb. The frontend is built with React and connects to a custom RESTful API backend I created with Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL. Users can browse properties, filter by type and price, book stays, leave reviews, save favourites, and manage their profile. The backend is deployed on Render, the database is hosted on Supabase, and the frontend is deployed on Netlify.
Frontend Challenges Showcase
A collection of interactive web applications that showcase my frontend development journey and problem-solving skills. Features include a strategic Tic Tac Toe game with AI logic, a dictionary app with real-time API integration, and a productivity-focused to-do list with local storage. Each project demonstrates different aspects of modern web development, from component architecture to API handling, while maintaining clean, accessible user interfaces.
