I am a London-based full stack web developer with a passion for UX/UI and experience in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, React, Angular, HTML, CSS and SQL. With an interdisciplinary background in literature, editorial and medical humanities, I value the simultaneous beauty and practicality of all language, whether formal or natural. I bring a strong editorial eye to writing both code and content, providing a rounded, holistic yet original view on any task, ranging from the minutiae of problem-solving to the big picture of project conceptualization. I am a huge football fan (soccer to some), have played in several bands and am owned by a cat called Buddy. By clicking on xQuisite-Corpsing, you can try an app I made with that same name (best viewed on desktop/laptop), or otherwise feel free to just ask me about my banana bread recipe: holler@romen-reyes-peschl.com
