Arno van der Heever

Front-End Developer

::about me

In a nutshell: I enjoy making things that look good and work well and I enjoy helping people – web development ticks all my boxes.

I started out building Wordpress sites for side projects in 2017, but it was only during the 2020 lockdown that I really got stuck into the fundementals of front-end web development.

In addition to web dev, I have 11 years' experience in tech support, I ran a small business for 5 years, I'm a qualified mountain guide and I've dabbled in copywriting and design.

So, if you're looking for a super enthusiastic web developer, who has led people over mountains and helped grow small businesses, I'm your unicorn!

If you'd like to get hold of me, I am available on all the standard channels.

However, I am not opposed to message via carrier pigeon, or a good old tin and string...
