Building My First Full Stack App with Node.js & React
A more human look at moving from building screens to building the invisible systems underneath them.
// hello, world
Builder, creator, and perpetual learner from South Africa πΏπ¦. I love crafting web experiences that are as functional as they are beautiful β from backend APIs to pixel-perfect frontends. Always exploring, always building.
My technical toolkit and areas of expertise
Building robust, scalable server-side applications and APIs powered by Node.js and Express.
Crafting interactive, responsive UIs that feel smooth and delightful to use every day.
Designing efficient schemas and writing optimised queries to keep data flowing cleanly.
Clean, collaborative development using modern tools, version control, and best practices.
Things I've built with passion and purpose
A brain-training card matching game with customisable grid sizes, flip tracking, and a countdown timer.
An ear-training game challenging players to identify semitone distances between musical notes with streak tracking.
A React-based version of the Memory Game with interactive card matching gameplay and a polished UI.
Ideas, experiences, and things I've learned along the way
A more human look at moving from building screens to building the invisible systems underneath them.
A reflection on consistency, frustration, and the quiet way confidence grows when you keep showing up.
A plain-English guide to the invisible conversations behind the apps and websites people use every day.
Always happy to connect β whether it's code, ideas, or just a chat
Whether you have a project in mind, want to collaborate, or just want to talk tech β my inbox is always open. I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
