A Little Bit About Me

Hey! My name is Portia, a Web Developer who has a passion for frontend development and interactive design. I am fluent in wriring code using JavaScript and jQuery and also enjoy crafting apps using React and Angular along with CSS & HTML that work across all platforms and browsers. I have worked for an agile team as a lead designer creating a web app that was implemented using Angular coded by Typescript. I was able to create UI mockups screens using Balsamiq and Figma and assigned UX case scenarios to the mockups using Confluence. I aspire towards a career that will allow me to channel my creativity through crafting beautiful software and engaging experience.

When I'm not on the computer, I enjoy reading and doing design work with food :), and petting dogs.

What I Do

Design

Design isn't just what a product looks like and feels like on the outside. Design encompasses the internal functionality of a product as well as the overall user experience. I strive to design interfaces and experiences that people can enjoy on all digital mediums.

Development

With a strong foundation in computer science, I'm passionate about web design and development, and interested in mobile app development. As I grow as a developer, I hope to write clean, readable code that can be used by others and leveraged to create beautiful software.

Involvement

From September 2019 I was part of a learnership with Umuzi Academy. I was a junior web developer as well as a mentor to recruits who came after me. I'm a person who is interested in hackathons and attending tech meet ups that help me engage with ambitious people like me.

Technical Skills

I've been coding for about 5 years now, but I've been doing Web development for the past 2 years and I'm always eager to learn more in this fast paced industry.
