Hello! 👩🏾💻
My name is Dara and I'm a Frontend Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience developing websites and web applications across a range of sectors using modern frontend frameworks and tools. I love the work that I do, particularly how various components - layout, typography, colours, imagery, data, language - are merged to create solutions and connect people.
I'm very passionate about mentoring other women who are keen to get into the tech space. In the past, I have partnered with
Black Girls In Tech and
CodeCollabs, where I supported and provided guidance to three young women.
I recently started writing to share my knowledge on the things I'm learning, some of which currently include Web3 DApps, Typescript and Next.js.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading (mostly) fiction novels and exploring new restaurants!

Some of my work
Surviving 2020
At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I came up with the idea of a project I coined 'surviving 2020' - a website that would connect people through stories and shared experiences by inviting them to document significant moments of their year 2020.

Lagos Burger Week
Organised by EatDrinkLagos, Lagos Burger Week is a self-guided tour across the finest burger joints in the city. Users create an account on the platform, and "stamp" a participating restaurant on their account. This app was built with Vue.js.

Lagos Leather Fair is an annual event that showcases Nigerian leather designers. The website was designed to deliver event information in the most efficient way.
