Frontend Developer (React & TS) | Technical Writer

I’m a front-end developer and technical writer based in Germany. I currently use react - my favourite framework - and styled-components as my main tech stack on the job. I like helping newbies grow to become the developers they want to be and land their desired tech jobs. One of the ways I do this is by hosting Twitter spaces (#NewbiesInTech) so that they can learn from experienced developers and be in the know. I also like reading and sharing my knowledge in different ways (articles, tweets, code snippets etc). I'd keep this bio updated as often as I can.
