Contact MeMy Journey in Tech
Hello, I'm George, a front-end developer with over 10 years in IT management. I approach web projects with both technical and managerial insights. Coding has always intrigued me; it's the art of turning ideas into tangible, interactive realities. My goal? Create web experiences that are not only visually appealing but also user-friendly and accessible. For me, a website should be both beautiful and functional. Accessibility always comes first.
My Tech Stack
Navigating the dynamic world of web development, I’ve refined my toolset to combine both power and efficiency. Here's a snapshot of the technologies and tools I rely on to bring digital projects to life:
HTML5
The backbone of every web page I craft. With HTML, I lay down the structure, ensuring content is organized, accessible, and ready to be styled.
CSS3
My toolkit for design and aesthetics. With CSS, I bring the web to life, ensuring each page is responsive, visually engaging, and on-brand.
JavaScript
Adding interactivity and dynamism to every project. I ensure performance to create smooth user experiences.
SASS
My go-to CSS preprocessor. It allows me to write clean, reusable, and organized styles.
React
Modern JavaScript libraries/frameworks that empower me to build scalable and reactive user interfaces.
Git & Github
Version control is crucial. I use Git to track changes and collaborate seamlessly with fellow developers.
NPM
My go-to for managing project dependencies. With NPM, I streamline my development process, ensuring that every project utilizes the latest tools and libraries efficiently.
Netlify
My preferred deployment platform. With Netlify, I guarantee that my web projects are launched seamlessly, benefiting from continuous integration, automatic SSL, and global CDN distribution.

Beyond the Pixels
When I'm not diving into lines of code or perfecting a website's user experience, you'll find me behind the lens, capturing moments through photography and videography. The skies aren't off-limits either; I love capturing aerial shots with my drone. My creativity isn't just confined to the digital realm. I indulge in 3D modeling, bringing those models to life with 3D printing. And to soothe the soul after a day of tech and creativity? I turn to my guitar, letting the melodies flow.

I bring to the table technical skills in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, among others. But I'm always eager to expand my horizons. In the coming years, I'm keen on delving deeper into the intricacies of backend development.
