💬 About Me
My name is Alfie. I am a problem solver who enjoys building products that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
I work as a full-stack developer and bootcamp instructor. I have experience with Next.js, React, Node.js/Express, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, Git, Nest.js, and a variety of other tools (I am language agnostic and can pick up new languages quickly). I also have a YouTube Channel where I post videos about web development and programming.
I built Linguatrackr.com, a tool for language learners who want to keep track of their immersion time in their target language(s). It also allows people to keep track of their study time in different areas in all of the languages they are learning. Linguatrackr hosts a blog and a community page which aggregates study sessions and other metrics from the user base as a whole.
I also created Cognimon, a comprehensive learning tracker that helps users track study sessions, measure progress, and achieve their learning goals across any subject or skill.
