Adam Lawrence

I am a developer from Sydney with a little over 6 years full time experience as a front end developer, with proven experience in developing various enterprise client/server side applications. I have a passion for creating robust front-end applications with great UI and UX.

Prior to my first job as a developer and I worked as a graphic designer who had a keen interest in web technoligies. After wowing some collegues with my (awesome;) ability to place a sliced up image into a table I started my profession as software dev. Over the years my skills have improved considerably, but I feel I have maintained my curiosity that lead me to this career in those starting years.

In recent years I have enjoyed working with Angular and Typescript and am excited by the thought of what challenges and opportunities may be around the corner.
