I'm a self-taught developer currently focused on building responsive and accessible sites and web apps. This site showcases some of the things I've built while learning how to code in the last year or so. Starting with basic HTML/CSS integration, vanilla Javascript apps (2022), then moving on to React, Tailwind, to integrating the back-end with Node, Express and MongoDB (2023).
I care about design, user experience, clean code and web accessibility. Mostly, I love to learn, build things, collaborate, problem-solve, and take on new challenges.

🎬 In a previous life I was a film editor based in London for 20 years, working on TV & feature documentaries for major broadcasters (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky etc), music promos, corporate videos, and was a VFX editor on award-winning animation shorts and commercials.
⛵️ I left after Brexit in pursuit of new challenges and sailing adventures, which led me to the Mediterranean where I worked on private superyachts as crew, lending a hand on deck, the interior and the engine room. For a while I juggled a life at sea during the summer with working on short editing contracts with my regular clients in London during the winter (2017-2021).
👩💻I discovered programming in my travels and got hooked. For the past year I've been making sure to build a strong foundation in web development by continuing to build front-end apps keeping accessibility in mind, while learning about back-end as I go along.
