Ken Ankomah - Frontend Developer

About me

I first became interested in Web Development and programming back in 2012 and I have been hooked ever since.

Since that time I have spent a considerable amount of time teaching myself to code. I have learned mainly through online courses on sites such as Codeacademy and Udemy.

It’s been a great learning experience and I really look forward to learning much more, not only as a hobby but also as a profession.

Apart from web development I quite enjoy keeping up to date with the latest discoveries in science and Technology. I'm also a big fan of tennis and like to watch it when I can.
