I'm James Hessell-Bowman, a technology minded Software Developer focused on building full-stack applications that are useful and accessible. I believe that all websites and applications should be built mobile first so that as many users as possible can access them.

Background
I am currently a Contract Software Engineer working remotely from New Zealand. I graduated from the Eastern Institute of Technology after completing an internship as a full-stack developer at Released Software Ltd.
As a software engineer, I enjoy the challenges that come with learning new technologies and, I love seeing the finished product at the end of a hard sprint. My goal is to build applications that help make the world easier to live in because the world is hectic and stressful and with technology, we can do better.
When I'm not in front of my laptop, I am probably playing dungeons and dragons, practising guitar or plotting where I want to travel next when the pandemic calms down.
