About Me.

Hi, I'm Darnell Noel, a mechanical engineer turned full stack web developer from Trinidad & Tobago.

In January 2020 I decided to learn to code by enrolling in an intensive web development boot camp for almost one year. It was during this time I realized that this was something I really enjoyed and was talented in.

I've always had an affinity for using logic to solve interesting and difficult problems but soon realized that there was also a creative side to me that loved the design and conceptualization processes. Now I enjoy working on and building complex and useful digital products!

When I'm not coding I enjoy learning new things, playing video games, spending time in nature, traveling or chilling with friends. I also have a great interest in psychology and understanding how the human mind works.
