I'm a front-end tech lead and visual designer based in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am passionate about all things digital, especially the web, and I am always creating something.
Hey, everyone. My name is Emile Hay. I'm a front-end tech lead at a startup company in Johannesburg, South Africa. Here's my little home on the web: emilehay.xyz
I began my career as a visual designer after my degree. I never did too well at computer science subjects so I didn't think I would end up loving development as much as I do now. One day my boss needed extra devs on a project and knowing my background asked if I'd be up for it and I've been hooked on dev ever since.
I'm still very design-oriented and I generally play the role of a bridge between design and development on most teams. Nowadays, however, my day-to-day work consists mostly of developing web-based applications for insurance companies built on Javascript frameworks like Mithril.js, React and Vue.
I decided to join the community after reading Ali Spittel's A Beginner's Guide to Dev.to. I'm always keen to collaborate with others and to glean new skills from likeminded coders so this looks like the place for me. I'd like to form part of the larger dev community and to learn from others while also sharing my experiences with you.
Have a great Tuesday and thanks for having me!
