Hi, I'm Jestin

I am a web developer from Toronto with a track record of 7+ years in developing websites across diverse categories, including blogs, e-commerce, dashboards, and static sites. I love solving complex problems with cutting-edge web technologies, implementing challenging UI interactions and components; and collaborating with talented teams.

I am always eager to learn new skills and explore new challenges. Currently, I'm keen on delving into backend technologies, CI/CD, and database development as I am inclined to become a fullstack developer in the future.
