I'm Louise, a self-taught, software engineer.

Specialising in full stack web development, I started learning to code in April 2021, then landed my first job in December 2022. I am continually striving to learn and grow.

I enjoy the challenge of problem solving when coding.

This portfolio was built in vanilla JavaScript, CSS and HTML.

The following projects consist of both static pages and dynamic, reactive single page applications (SPA), built with React.js in the frontend and either relational (MySQL) or non-relational (MongoDB) databases with Node.js and Express.js for CRUD functionality in the backend.
