I'm a developer specialising in web technologies, education, and design. I bring front-end engineering together with creative design to build tools that look great and work smoothly. I'm fluent in Japanese - having taught English and maths at an international school in Tokyo, and have produced films in California. I primarily work with JavaScript, Vue, CSS, and a variety of backend technologies (SQL, MongoDB, Node.js) and create my multimedia assets using Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Articulate Storyline to bring you engaging educational and other online content. I also automate processes and do data wrangling/visualisation across Google and Microsoft platforms using Azure, Alteryx, Node.js, Excel VBA, Power Platform, and Google Apps Script.
