Hi! I'm Derek, a front-end developer from Toronto, Ontario. After picking up coding as a hobby I fell deeply in love with solving intricate problems in the digital realm.

When I am not learning new code, I enjoy reading, trying new recipes and hanging out with friends. I am also the proud owner of a very outspoken chihuahua!
