Alfie Collins

I am a Full-Stack Web Developer with aptitude in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node). I also have knowledge of PHP and MySQL.

I have a flair for creative, beautiful and highly-functional web-building. I have expertise in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MongoDB, Express, React, Node, PHP, MySQL, Tailwind, Materialize and Bootstrap. I am a Team player and relationship builder with experience of collaborative programming and presenting to groups.

Outside of programming, I have a first-class degree in philosophy from the University of York, an MPhil in philosophy from the University of Cambridge, and a Graduate Diploma in Law from the University of Law. This 'extra-curricular' depth gives me a unique edge amongst web-developers, showing a high level of general competency.  

My portfolio can be found at alfiecollins.com, where you can see some of my web-applications and learn more about me.

I have created two freelance projects. 

First, I created an online ‘home guide’ for a landlord renting out his house.

Second, I created a website for a yoga instructor. This website enables users to see what services she offers, book yoga sessions, and leave reviews.

I learnt how to design and build full-stack applications using MongoDB, Express, React and Node - using JavaScript in the backend and frontend. I learnt how to produce clean, modular and efficient code using object-oriented principles. I learnt the fundamentals of the MVC Frameworks (Model-View-Controller). I integrated 3rd party APIs into my projects. I also created responsive web-applications for effective mobile usage.
