Front-End Developer

Nathan Kanigsberg Headshot

About Me

I'm a Front-End Developer with Full-Stack experience, and have worked on a number of personal, group, and freelance projects (see portfolio below) using technologies such as React and Redux on the Front-End and MongoDB, Express, and NodeJS on the Back-End. I take pride in writing clean, DRY code, and building modern, responsive, and accessible web applications.


My background is in business and technical sales which gives me a unique and well-rounded perspective on any project, and I have a history of building web apps and other programs while studying Computer Science at Ryerson University as well as the Immersive Web Development program at Juno College of Technology.


If you'd like to know more please feel free to contact me, or set up a meeting. I'd love to hear from you!
