Alex Hawker

QA Engineer

South Ockendon, England, United Kingdom

About

I am currently proficient in front-end web development based languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React.js). As a result that is the direction I am looking to progress my career in. I want to learn more within a working company and seeing what problems that arise and face them head on. I also have experiance with adobe suite using photoshop and creating svg graphics using illustrator.
