πŸ‘‹ Ciao, I'm Alex πŸ‘‹

Since the start of 2022 I have been learning and exploring the possibilities in the world of code! Currently working full time in a innovative team at ZIM, and will soon be adding a part time role at Lernilango. Both work environments are fast paced and professional, always looking to optimise their processes and create something special. My coding bootcamp taught me JS, HTML and CSS, and since then I've added React Native, Typescript and cloud based development.
