I'm a Full-Stack Software Developer with a passion for all things tech, based out of Gothenburg, Sweden. 🇸🇪
Hey, I'm Dan. I'm a junior full-stack developer with a passion for technological innovation and development. I enjoy creating modern websites and applications.
After spending the last 10 years working in various customer service and management roles, I decided to make a change and delve into the world of software development. I joined a 12 month long coding bootcamp where I began learning the fundamentals of full-stack development, covering languages including Javascript, Python HTML & CSS. I learnt version control systems including Git and Github, and completed projects using Agile methodologies and practises.
Since graduating I have continued on this learning journey, delving deeper into frontend development. I am currently working alot with React, Next.js and Typescript while attempting to take in as much information as possible in this ever-changing technology sector.
