About
UI/UX Designer, Web Developer & App Developer.
I am a self taught full stack web developer with 2 years experience working with javaScript, HTML and CSS. I obtained a certification in Data Science using python from the University of Cape Town.I am passionate about the web and, building not only great user interfaces but secure backend API services. Most of my front-end is written in React or NextJS and my back-end experience is in NodeJS + ExpressJS, needless to say, I love learning and always willing to figure out new things and tech. My end goal is to be able to build websites/web apps that are hybrid and integrted with Machine Learning. I am currently learning tensorflow JS which is a javaScript module for Machine Learning. When I'm not coding I'm either playing games, chess or just around family and friends.

What I like about Oyama is that he approaches everything as a challenge and most the time he tries to solve the problem of his own before he consults for help.
