about me

Hi, I'm Alex McGarry - a junior developer passionate about building practical web applications.

After completing the Northcoders bootcamp in 2023, I've been developing my skills through a variety of projects. I enjoy working with modern technologies like Next.js, React, and TypeScript to create solutions for real-world problems.

I'm currently building Co-op Connect, a comprehensive management platform, which has been a great learning experience in working with complex database relationships and user authentication. I'm always eager to take on new challenges and learn emerging technologies.

Technologies I work with:

  • Next.js 15 & React 19
  • TypeScript & JavaScript
  • Python & Flask
  • Node.js & Express
  • PostgreSQL, MongoDB & Supabase
  • Tailwind CSS & Framer Motion
  • LangChain & OpenAI APIs
