Hey, my name is Darren!

me

I am a self taught developer with a background in Electrical/Computer Engineering. I started learning about web development in January 2020, just for fun. Getting to know the fundamentals, choosing a tech stack, building silly apps - then just 10 months after starting, I found myself in a Frontend Developer role instead of a Technician role.

Funny how things can turn out, eh?

Try this real quick!

What I do

React

MongoDB

UI/UX

I build applications with React and expand to different frameworks and toolsets depending on the project. So far, Next.js has been my favorite React framework for development and I know how to use AdobeXD/Figma for component prototyping prior to development.

I also have experience with NoSQL development with MongoDB and, though I prefer to do all the CSS myself, I am more than open to using CSS frameworks like Material UI and TailwindCSS.
