About Me

Developer by trade,
designer at heart.

Hi, I'm Alex Mercer — a full-stack developer with 5+ years of experience turning ideas into polished digital products. I specialise in React, Node.js, and modern CSS, with a deep appreciation for typography and motion.

When I'm not writing code, I'm sketching interface concepts, reading about design history, or brewing an unreasonable amount of coffee.
