About Me
Hey there, I'm Dom. I've spent years building applications using all sorts of languages and frameworks. I work across frontend and backend, and I enjoy tackling both web and mobile projects.
I care a lot about doing quality work. I'm pretty self-motivated and work well independently, but I also value good teamwork. I get excited about learning new things and trying out new tech. I always think about how to make software easier to use and understand.
Having built my own projects, I know how to balance getting things done quickly with maintaining good quality for the long run. I focus on making interfaces that make sense for users and code that other developers can work with easily. Looking ahead, I'm interested in roles where I can help lead projects while still getting my hands dirty with coding.
