My face

Software engineer, creator, aspiring netrunner

Hello, I'm Helgard, a software engineer and creative developer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I love making applications that push boundaries and tease minds.

I'm a problem solver with a flair for creativity.

I'm experienced in several web technologies but I specialize in React, NextJS, TypeScript, RxJS, & WebGL.

I love pushing myself and testing my limits. When I'm not developing, I'm either climbing 🧗‍♂️ or surfing 🏄‍♂️

I pride myself on bringing dreams to reality.
