Hello there.
I'm Alex Bates. I'm a software developer that's been working professionally for 10 years.
I'm currently working at Pocketworks as a Full Stack Developer, where I build mobile applications and web solutions for clients across various industries.
My expertise spans across modern web technologies including Vue.js, Astro, Elixir & Phoenix, and mobile development with Flutter. I'm passionate about creating user-friendly applications that solve real-world problems and deliver exceptional user experiences.
I try and remember to write about things I learn or find interesting. You can also follow me on Github (or LinkedIn, if that's your thing).
Technologies & Skills
I'm proficient in a range of languages and frameworks, from frontend technologies to backend systems and mobile development. The connections show how these technologies relate and complement each other in modern development workflows.
