About Me

beatrice-opara

I’m Beatrice (Bea for short, pronounced Bee 🐝). I’m a front-end developer and self-professed blerd. I'm curious about technology (especially emerging technology) and eager to learn whilst having fun.

In my space time, I volunteer in the tech community, as a organiser at codebar and teaching assistant at CodeYouFuture.

Outside of coding, I'm big on self-care. I decompress by exercising and cooking. I love reading books/comics, watching anime/cartoons, playing video games and trying to learn new skills.

Skills

My main technical skills are HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Through personal projects, volunteering and employment, I have strengthened my CSS preprocessor/methodologies, JS frameworks and version control skills.

I'm currently learning user-centred design and game development. As I continue my technical journey, I'm excited to explore prototyping and emerging technology such as AR, VR, MR and IoT.

Here are some of the projects that I have worked on. Each project, I aim to build upon my existing technical skills and learn a new framework or tool whilst incorporating my personality/interest.
