Kito Clark - Senior software developer

Ace fullstack developer with a specialty in React, Node.js & humor.

My story

I started my coding journey in 2018 by attending a coding boot-camp and discovered a hidden passion (and at times unhealthy addiction) from the first line of code I wrote. This journey has provided me with the skills and privilege of building software in a range of companies and industries including public transport, health care, cyber security and online marketing and course creation.

My ethos

I enjoy blending creativity with logic in my quest to solve real world problems in the cyber universe. I am a firm believer in fostering a collaborative environment, where knowledge sharing and mutual growth are key to enhancing the efficiency and performance of the teams I work with.

My interests

In my personal time I enjoy travel, surfing and Muay Thai. I also have a new found passion for woodworking, specifically wooden surfboards.

PROJECTS

In my spare time I like to tinker with things. I have always enjoyed learning new things or figuring out better ways of doing things. Most of these projects are tech based, however there might be some here that aren't because they are just cool and fun!

Green flight towers means they are active being worked on and potentially deployed.
Yellow, deployed but not actively worked on.
Red, abandoned/defunct.
