Hey, I'm Taine.

I'm a Full Stack Developer

Tranistioning from being a photographer to becoming a fullstack developer I now channel my creative energy into crafting innovative software solutions. From building and scaling software over the last two years, my journey has taken me from New Zealand to London. Let's connect and create something remarkable together!

About.

Hey! I'm Taine, if you haven't already gathered that by now. I'm a photographer turned software engineer from Wellington, New Zealand. I specialize in frontend, primarily with React, but love the freedom of having a toolkit that spans the stack. I love building with whatever tools are right for the job.

Currently, I am fully immersed in the world of full-stack development. Working as a full-stack developer at AskYourTeam, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with a talented team, tackle complex projects, and deliver innovative solutions. This role has allowed me to continually expand my technical expertise while honing my ability to create efficient, scalable, and user-friendly software applications.

Outside of work, I remain deeply connected to my passion for photography. I continue to explore the world of visual storytelling through editorial and documentary photography. This involvement in the photography scene provides me with a fresh perspective and fuels my creative spirit. It also enables me to bring a unique vision to my work as a developer, infusing it with an artistic sensibility and a keen eye for detail.
