I'm John, a front-end developer with 3+ years working with mainly startups and smaller enterprises. I'm a seasoned React developer with some experience with Vue and Svelte. At the moment I'm learning backend with Node.js, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, expanding towards full-stack. I also have a Bachelor's in Computer Science.

Although I've mainly worked in web, I'd love to branch out towards different domains and skillsets if given the chance.

Also experienced in remote work (with coworkers working at GMT+2). I'll be willing to adjust my schedule to accommodate different time zones if needed.

Show HN: A word guessing tool for Wordle

https://wordlehelper.xyz

Simple tool that filters from a list of all possible 5-letter words, based on the given constraints.Made this as a fun weekend project for my friends (when you don't know what other words are there anymore) and was implemented on www.natto.dev, but decided to give it a proper UI just to give my front-end skills a nice practice.
