I'm James/Jim, a Full Stack software developer from the south of Wales. I enjoy all sorts of programming but professionally experienced with Full stack and a bit of dev-ops.
I spend a big chunk of my time learning, whether it's about rockets, science or languages. Β

I see software developers as generalists, we have real power to solve problems in our day to day lives. For example, a silly movie app so I can group watch home movies with my partner in Japan, or creating a networked OS based toast announcer to remind myself to make tea!

I probably take DRY/YAGNI a bit too seriously, so I tend to make templates for every bit of new tech I work on. Feel free to use any of these templates however you see fit:

| ts-express-tdd-docker-nginx-template | Nginx/docker-compose wrapped NodeJS/React app | Click me! |
| ts-react-grid-template | React/Typescript/React-grid-layout | - |
These projects are purely for reference they are more for my benefit but I hope you find them useful too!
I find it useful to build up something from the very basics in a project before working on them in another (I have a terrible memory!)
