About Me

Thank you for visiting my portfolio! I'm Monica, a passionate web developer who specialises in e-commerce and has a love for creating beautiful and functional websites. With a background in both front-end and back-end development, I enjoy bringing ideas to life through code. My journey in web development started with a curiosity for how websites work, and it has since evolved into a fulfilling career where I get to solve problems and build engaging user experiences. When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, taking part in hackathons, or taking time out with my dog, Max! I'm always eager to connect with fellow developers and collaborate on exciting projects!
