I am a frontend engineer with several years of experience in web development including project managing, building and testing on-pack promotions and games to win prizes for a variety of clients. I have meticulous attention to detail and immerse myself in the projects I undertake.

Number Mulitples

I previously built this React app as an exercise to display the multiples of a selected number. I’ve been wanting to experiment with TypeScript, Styled Components, React Testing Library and Cypress, so I added TypeScript to the existing app and replaced the existing CSS to use Styled Components instead. Afterwards I created some tests for it as well.

High-Low Game

I previously built a high-low card game using JavaScript/jQuery and SCSS. I decided to rebuild it using React and redid all the styles using Tailwind CSS as well. If you decide to play the game then I hope you enjoy it. Good luck.
