A passionate designer, motion graphics animator, and full stack developer. Proficient in using the Adobe Creative Cloud suite to design and produce high-quality and appealing motion graphics. Primarily Adobe XD, After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro. I specialize in designing user interfaces and transforming them into motion graphics that show off the functionality of these interfaces. With the ability to create these motion graphics, I'm able to put together production-ready videos - ranging from mobile application promotional videos, product concept videos, informational videos, highlight videos, intro/outro videos, and anything related. I also design and develop mobile apps, backends, desktop apps, web apps - with over seven years of experience as a developer in a number of disciplines. I am well versed in native Android development using Kotlin and Jetpack components. Flutter is also a multi-platform development kit that I've been using for a while - And I can comfortably build and deploy apps to both Android and iOS using it. I build apps that can be integrated with services like firebase - as well as apps that integrate with REST APIs. With REST APIs in mind - I can develop RESTful APIs that integrate with a database—primarily using Express (Through NodeJS). When it comes to websites/web apps, I prefer to use Vue as my framework of choice as it makes writing them much easier. With all these skills combined, I can develop a fully functional app handling both the frontend and the backend. I love what I do, and I'm keen on providing a great service for clients.
