About

I’m Dylan Makinson, a junior software and web developer with a data and database focus from Nepean, Ontario. I’ve built Java web applications, React-based interfaces, Android apps, and REST API integrations, and I enjoy turning real-world requirements into working features using solid OOP and clean debugging practices.

Across my projects and experience, I’ve worked with SQL-backed systems to design data flows and CRUD functionality, and I’ve also developed dashboards and offline-friendly storage for practical use cases. I’m comfortable collaborating in Agile teams, explaining complex technical concepts clearly, and using tools like Git, Jira, and common web/development stacks to deliver on schedule.
