Working with development

Benjan was introduced to web design and development during his graphic design studies in 2017-2018. He remembers being fascinated by it.

While Benjan was working as a junior graphic (web) designer for Chamberlain's in 2019, his goal was to design and build pages for their new e-commerce site.
He soon realised that Magento's Page Builder wasn't going to cut it - he needed code (particularly CSS) to bring the static layout that the team agreed upon to life.
This project piqued his curiosity, where he started to learn intermediate web code.

Benjan enrolled for a Certificate in Full Stack Web Development at HyperionDev nearing the end of that year, where he had an immersive learning experience with the MERN (Mongo, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack.

From 2020 to 2022, Benjan worked as a web developer at Red September, a full-service digital agency.
Here he learned how to stick to tight deadlines and match the UX/UI designs to a T.

In April 2022, Benjan joined the team at Codehesion, a software consulting company, as a software engineer.
Benjan could realise his dream of coding things from scratch and getting closer to first principles.
He specialises in React Native and is one of the go-to devs on the floor for when his fellow team members experience build issues or have questions about CSS or styling.
