I'm John, a front-end developer with 3+ years working with mainly startups and smaller enterprises. I'm a seasoned React developer with some experience with Vue and Svelte. At the moment I'm learning backend with Node.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, expanding towards full-stack. I also have a Bachelor's in Computer Science.
