Hi 👋, I'm Laura

I am a Junior Full Stack Web Developer

About me

🛅 I am a Junior Full-Stack Web Developer at a Market Research Data financial firm.

🔭 I’m actively improving various skills through practice and experimenting at work, including:

  • PHP
  • Laravel
  • Vue.js
  • Tailwind CSS & Quasar
  • Cypress and unit testing to name a few!

🤼 I would love to collaborate on various projects where I can deepen my knowledge and skill in web development. I am especially drawn to heritage/culture & B Corp ideas. Let's chat!

🎨 When I'm not coding:

  • I channel my creativity by recreating artworks with a needle and thread 🪡🖼️. My current project is a painting by an impressionist artist, Edgar Degas.

  • 🎾/🥾/💃 I also enjoy a good walk or run, a game of tennis and a turn around the dance floor busting my Lindy hop moves.

All of these activities allow me to unwind or secretly think of solutions for tackling those pesky coding errors!
