About me

Hi! My name's Joe and in 2022 I taught myself various programming languages and frameworks - you can see my whole journey on my TikTok or YouTube channel.

I now work as Technical & Production Lead overseeing web development at a digital marketing company. I'm familiar with a variety of languages but prefer to work in the .NET. stack

If you scroll down this page, you'll see a few personal projects that showcase my skills. For a look at more websites and projects I've worked on, feel free to reach out and I'll be happy to provide you with examples from clients.

You can also find me on GitHub and LinkedIn:

  • Classical Music Quiz

    Classical Music Quiz

    To teach myself Imba (a new language that makes a series of subtle improvements on JavaScript) I coded this single page app/game from scratch. I wanted to create something where pieces of music played and the user had to answer questions - Imba's smart syntax allowed me to create a lightweight, elegantly-styled UI and I'd definitely like to use it more in the future.

  • Dog Breed Guessing Game

    Dog Breed Guessing Game

    Dog API is a collection of dog photos along with a list of breeds, and it's freely available for anyone to use. Using this API I created a fun game in React/JavaScript where the user is shown a random photo of a dog and has to guess the breed.
