Kevin Konczak - Portfolio

About

Hi, my name is Kevin. Thanks for checking my portfolio!

I have spent the past 7 years working my way up from a web designer to a full-stack web developer, and have enjoyed every step of the journey. I am a constant learner, and I find nothing more rewarding than going from "I don't know how to do this", to "I can do this now!".

I am currently working as a full stack developer for a Japanese digital marketing startup named SENDo, where I work on various projects, including, but not limited to, admin dashboards, internal tools (employee portal, etc), as well as client-facing websites. Thanks to that, I get to work with a wide range of technologies, including React, Remix, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Python, Django and more. It's a challenging role, but I get to use my Japanese skills, and learn new things every day, so I really enjoy it.

Prior to that, I was the front end developer of a Japanese language school, responsible for the development and maintenance of the school's website, as well as the development of various internal tools. I also freelanced for a while as a web designer, creating websites for small businesses and individuals who wanted an online presence.

Unapologetically geeky, I have a wide range of interests, including video games, movies, reading fantasy. When the season is right, I also like to be outdoor, touch grass and disconnect from the digital world for a while.

Freelance

Building and deploying custom WordPress websites for small businesses and individuals using DIVI page builder and custom themes. Handling both client and technical aspects. I started as a freelance because after self-teaching myself about web development, it was the best way for me to gain valuable experience to transition in my career and in the future obtain a full-time position as a web developer.
