Hello! My name is Leo Pettecrew and I enjoy making web applications and mobile games. I first started my programming journey when I got my first computer as a Christmas present when I was around 10 years old.

Naturally as a pre-teen obsessed with Minecraft, it wasn't long before I delved into creating mods for the game. Whilst it was mostly just tutorials on YouTube that I followed, being able to show people what I was able to create was a feeling like no other, and at this point in my life I had decided I wanted to become a programmer.

Eventually, I progressed into web development in 2017, and have not looked back since. Initially starting off with the basics; HTML, CSS and JavaScript and even picked up on PHP at one point.

I consider myself a decent “all rounder” when it comes to programming. I spend most of my time working on the user interface and UX, however I am comfortable and competent designing backend systems. I believe solid, reliable communication between the two is critical for the security and reliability of an application.

I prefer to work in TypeScript for most of my projects as you just can't beat a type-safe application! Typescript combined with JSDoc is the cherry on top when it comes to developer experience.
