Front-End Developer & Project Manager
Hi there! My name is Shivam Joshi, I grew up in Manchester, England, and currently live in Vancouver, Canada. I specialize in building beautiful user interfaces and managing software projects from start to finish.
About Me
I love to make things that have a positive impact on people. After receiving my bachelor's degree in Computing from Leeds Beckett University in 2017, I worked as a Project Manager in the Web & Design team at Canonical, the makers of the Ubuntu operating system, and as a Project Coordinator in the Aurora Cannabis Software Engineering team.
Working in highly experienced and talented teams, on projects which impacted millions of people has taught me a great deal about project management, front-end development, and the importance of user experience and web accessibility.
In February 2021, I left the Aurora team to focus on front-end development. I refreshed my knowledge of HTML, CSS & JavaScript, and frameworks such as React, NextJS and Gatsby.
I am currently working at Xenum Technologies, a start-up based in Vancouver, focusing on building web applications for the video game industry and Web3 space, using React and NextJS.
My Skills
Through my studies and work experience, I've gained a solid understanding of front-end technologies and concepts.
Using Agile methodologies, I've also managed numerous software projects from initiation to go-live, and beyond.
