About Me
I'm Gabriel Chikwendu Nwofoke, a passionate Frontend Developer currently building innovative solutions at Edenites Technologies. I hail from the beautiful Ebonyi State in South-Eastern Nigeria.
With expertise in modern JavaScript frameworks and a keen eye for UI/UX principles, I specialize in creating responsive, accessible web applications. Currently, I'm leading frontend development for an e-learning platform that's revolutionizing digital education in Africa.
I'm pursuing Software Development at BYU to refine my architectural patterns knowledge and master advanced development methodologies. When not coding, I contribute to open-source projects and mentor aspiring developers in my community.
Ebonyi State, Nigeria

- Natural wonders: Ndibe beach (one of Africa's deepest), Abakaliki Green Lake, and the scenic Oferekpe Waterfront
