About Me
Hey, I'm Jason, a fullstack web developer. I love tackling all elements of web development and constantly learning new skills in these areas. I've coded in many popular languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Angular, NextJS, .Net(C#)... to build responsive websites, functional desktop applications, and well designed phone apps. I'm a great learner and pride myself on my creativity and problem solving skills.

Questions & Answers
Do you prefer working more on the Front-end or Back-end?
At the start of my career, I worked more on the FE and design, but over the last 10-15 years I've worked on a good balance of FE and BE. If I had to give a preference I would say 60/40 in favour of BackEnd work.
Outside of web development do you have any hobbies?
My three main passions are learning, health, and travelling. As such my hobbies include exercise (gym, football, cycling), self development, personal web development projects, reading, learning Spanish / Portuguese, cooking and playing music (guitar and piano). My love for travelling and experience new cultures has taken me to many countries around the world.
What are your strengths?
My best strengths are that I'm a good problem solver, a quick learner and very persistent. These give me confidence that I can take on any challenge and eventually find a solution.
What are your weaknesses?
Sometimes not asking for help quick enough and not taking enough breaks (to clear my mind) when I'm stuck on a problem.
How do you handle stress and pressure in the workplace?
By setting clear priorites, boundaries and communicating with my colleagues on expectations.
How do you stay up to date with industry trends?
Mainly through subscribed developer youtube channels and then taking courses for new subjects and making sure I put this new knowledge into practical use by creating a small personal project.
How do you handle feedback and criticism?
When I was younger (before around 22 years old) I did not handle criticism well, but I have since been on a huge self-development journey and value how important feedback and constructive criticism is to continue to learn and grow.
What motivates you at work?
I love learning and problem solving. We live in an infinite world learning wise, so I'm motivated everyday by the new things I will learn.
