Kia ora, I'm Taiao, a full stack dev with 2.5 years of experience and based in Wellington NZ.

 

I've had a colorful career, working as a videographer and pivoting into tech as a Ruby on Rails dev, and eventually a COBOL programmer. Looking to get back into a modern stack in a high ownership team where I can get my hands dirty.

 

This portfolio is a rewrite of a bloated React site I built with youthful optimism in 2023. No more dependabot warnings!
