About me
Hello, I'm Josh. A front-end web developer.
I've been working as a developer in Chester for 3 years now. I specialise in creating React applications with Typescript. However, I am familiar with a lot of other frameworks, libraries, and technologies because I work on various projects which require different expertise, allowing me to continually upskill myself. I love problem-solving, whether it's diagnosing a technical issue, solving problems for clients, or just finding better ways to work effectively.
Personal Projects
Multi-Directional Slider
This is a content slider I made which randomly transitions between slides passed to it as a JSON object. You can use the settings panel to change the text and colours of the slides, add new slides, and delete slides dynamically.
Laptop Charge Changer
My laptops battery is awful! it always runs out of power at the worst possible times without me noticing. I've connected my laptop to a smart WIFI plug and created a Python script which can turn on and off the smart plug depending on the battery level. This script is run on a schedule so that i never need to monitor my laptops battery. It does everything automatically.
