Hey, I'm Lex. A software engineer with 3 years of experience & a problem solver who has mastered Vue[3] and Laravel[10].
Lex's Bio
With a solid foundation in Computing Science from the University of East London, where I earned my Bachelor's degree, followed by a specialized Master's in Information Security and Computer Forensics, my journey into the realm of technology has been driven by an insatiable curiosity and a passion for problem-solving. My favorite aspect of coding lies in the intricate dance of logic and creativity required to solve complex problems and design unique, innovative products.
Proficient in a versatile tech stack that includes Vue, Node.js, Laravel, andTailwindcss, with additional expertise in React and Typescript, I thrive on the dynamic challenges of software development. Embracing the philosophy that continuous learning is the cornerstone of professional growth, I find immense satisfaction in mastering new technologies and staying at the forefront of industry advancements. My primary focus revolves around artificial intelligence, where I aim to contribute to the ongoing evolution of intelligent systems.
Beyond the lines of code, my interests extend into the vibrant tapestry of life. As an avid enthusiast of esports, I find joy in watching competitive gaming events and engaging in spirited matches myself. Whether immersing myself in the latest esports tournaments, playing competitive video games, or enjoying cinematic experiences with friends, I cherish moments that seamlessly blend leisure and camaraderie. Music is a constant companion, providing the soundtrack to my daily endeavors.
In my free time, I channel my passion for esports and the diversity within the gaming community into a compelling podcast project. This endeavor allows me to explore and share stories that transcend the virtual realm, shedding light on the multifaceted landscape of esports and the rich tapestry of voices that contribute to its dynamism.
