About Me

I like drinking coffees. And beers. Listening to a wide array of music.

Sometimes, you'll find me playing terrible DJ sets.

Ex-Property Manager turned Software Developer

I'm frontend heavy, but I'm looking to move into Fullstack roles in the future.

Highlights

• Currently working part-time as a Contract Developer.
  I'm building a new ecommerce storefront for the business I contract for. The storefront is mostly done and we're currently building a connector application to synchronize data between their ERP and the Ecommerce platform.

  Some of my wins include building features to synchronize products, inventory, and customers along with building several pages on the storefront.

  Under NDA.

• Mentor at Code.Sydney
  Working on a few projects at the moment.The main one is the Migram project, an AirTasker-like marketplace that helps migrants and refugees find meaningful opportunities of work in Australia.

  I've sunk roughly 280 hours into the project mostly on it solo. But thankfully, I've been able to grow the team to five developers ranging from beginners to Junior Developers.

• Found a Senior React Take-Home Assessment and took a stab at it.
  I got humbled after it was reviewed by the company. Made lot's of mistakes, but generally good.
  I've got years to grow into this role. So, I'm extremely thankful that I got feedback so early in my career.

• Published an Immutable Map as an NPM package.
  I built this because I wanted to use a HashMap in my React State. Vanilla JS Maps weren't really an option since React is allergic to mutable data structures.

• Published a GitHub Action on the Github Marketplace.
  It's a simple one that thanks a contributor for landing a pull request.
