Hi, I'm Allan
a ,
I like b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ building cool things that live on the internet 🌐
About
I've been building websites for nearly four years often using vanilla javascript, React, (S)CSS and other web technologies. With a master’s degree in Computer Science, I am currently working a web developer at Responsible Life, where I work as part of a dynamic team focused on crafting innovative web applications to transform the equity release space.
I also play football, read books, and go on runs to get my ass off the computer.
