About Morne

Video games sparked my passion for technology at an early age, leading me to explore a wide range of roles across both personal and professional projects. I began my career at 19 in IT support and network administration, building a strong foundation in systems, troubleshooting, and infrastructure.

I then spent five years as a game and mixed media developer, working with technologies like C#, Unity, AR, and VR, which developed both my technical and creative skill sets. In the past two years, I’ve worked at a Berlin-based startup, where I specialized in full-stack web development using Vue.js, TypeScript, JavaScript, Firebase, and Node.js.

Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to projects for UNICEF, WHO, and PAHO, supporting global initiatives through technical solutions. An experience I value deeply.

More recently, I’ve expanded into cloud computing and earned multiple AWS certifications, further strengthening my backend and infrastructure expertise. I’m passionate about continuous learning, problem-solving, and working with teams that build impactful, modern applications.

I bring a self-taught, hands-on approach, a diverse tech background, and a strong ability to quickly adapt to new tools and stacks. I’m always looking for exciting challenges where I can grow and contribute meaningfully.
