About Me

Hi, I’m Brett! I’m a front-end web developer with a love for crafting interactive, user-centric websites. My goal is to create seamless, visually appealing experiences through clean, efficient code. I specialise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Git, and I’m always eager to learn new frameworks and tools to stay ahead in this fast-paced industry.
When I’m not coding, you’ll likely find me enjoying quality time with my family, exploring the outdoors, or unwinding with a good game. I’m a firm believer in the power of collaboration and creativity, and I thrive on working with others to bring innovative ideas to life.

Here’s what I do best:

  • Build responsive, mobile-friendly websites that look great on any device
  • Design intuitive user interfaces that prioritise user experience
  • Continuously learn and experiment with new technologies
  • Collaborate on exciting projects that push the boundaries of web development
