About me
Louw Swart
Front-end Engineer, Wellington NZ
I have had a varied career spanning 8 years in the travel industry as a flight attendant, after which I joined the IT sector in 2008, where I’ve been employed in various software development roles. These include working within industries such as banking and media, and for companies contracting services to government organisations.
While my background is full-stack (Java), I’ve been specialising in Front-end development since 2014, working with frameworks such as Angular, React, Next.js and GraphQL.
I am a pragmatic individual with a strong sense of responsibility - I like to get things done.
