ABOUT

My name is Katerina Metaxopoulou but most people call me Kat for short. I was born in Greece but I have been living in the UK for over 10 years.

I am a web developer with a passion for creating websites that are user friendly. My journey into web development started when I was 14 years old when I made my first website and since then I knew it was my passion!

Over the course of my 5 years of commercial experience in web development I have created projects ranging from marketing landing pages to A/B tests to full scale websites working for both big and small brands along the way.

Aside from coding, some of my other interests include travelling, reading non-fiction books (and occasionally fiction), following a pescatarian lifestyle and being active.

This is my portfolio website in which I upload some of the projects I have worked on. I am constantly looking for opportunities to build my portfolio so if you would like to contact me to talk about a project please do so!
