Hi, my name is

Darwin Balino.

I build things for the web.

I'm an aspiring front-end developer. I've been learning to program in JavaScript for the past 4 years my during evenings and weekends. Currently, I'm focused on building fullstack web apps with React using Next.js & Node.js. I thrive on making things that feel good to use, combining technical problem-solving with a strong eye for design

01. About Me

Hello! My name is Darwin and I enjoy creating things that live on the internet. My interest in web development started back in 2013 when I decided to try editing custom Tumblr themes — turns out hacking together a custom reblog button taught me a lot about HTML & CSS!

Since then, I've had the privilage of studying General Science at The University of British Columbia as a recipient of a Veazey Scholarship in 2014. Fast-forward to today, and I've rekindled my interest in web development & passion for technology while learning to make modern websites.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:

TypeScript (ES6+)

Tailwind CSS

React

Next.js

Node.js

Github
