Hello, I'm Simon 🤝

I am a creative-minded frontend developer and project manager with a passion for art and humane technology. My four years professional experience as a Frontend Developer working in small agile teams are supported by 10 years of cross-functional team leadership and stakeholder management in the visual arts, so I am proud to bring both technical expertise and a strong collaborative approach to my work. My love for learning and working with new people is driven by a desire to find creative solutions for innovative projects.

I am trained in object-orientated programming using Typescript, Next.js, JavaScript (ES6), MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js, HTML and CSS.

Always
Being
Creative

My interest in machines and systems started young. I was always taking toys apart to understand how they worked 🧰 or inventing new tools out of useless objects.🛠

This creative curiosity and love for making took me, via artschool 🎨, into the world of international galleries and exhibitions, where I worked for 10 years as a project manager, curator and gallery director. 🖼

Somehow, for so long, working with code felt completely opposite to the path that I had taken 👾 – the work of the 'other' side of the brain 🧠. And it wasn't until I broke down this mental barrier that I saw programming to be the creative act that it is. And also a space to create beautiful things. 🍎

Once I realised this, I knew that I wanted to apply the same strategy to problems in the tech world – break down barriers and find creative solutions to innovative humane projects.
