Meet Jack - our new React Native Developer

Hi Jack, welcome to Morrow! Please could you tell us a bit about yourself?

I’m a 27 year old skateboarding developer. I love to learn new skills and tricks and enjoy spending my time socialising with friends and family.

So you’re one week in, how has it been so far?

My first week has been everything that I’d hoped for. Meeting nice new people in a very comfortable environment, getting to grips with a different work culture and projects. Overall it's been a really good beginning.

What was your primary motivation for joining Morrow?

My primary motivation for joining Morrow was a dream that I set out on 8 years ago to be able to have the control and flexibility over my personal and work life, the idealistic dream of being a digital nomad. Morrow works with the technology stack that I personally prefer to use.

What do you bring to the team in terms of skills and traits?

The skills I bring to the team would be drawn upon my previous work experience which would be 1 year of Angular web Development and before that would be 1 year of React/React Native and NodeJs. I also have experience with being a good communicator and really enjoy working collaboratively with others.

What’s your favourite app and why?

My favourite app would probably be StarTracker because it allows you to point your camera anywhere to show the stars and planets in the solar system from where you are standing.

What’s your home working setup like? Any tips?

Home working setup is coffee shop blues and jazz in the morning with a cup of coffee, blue LED lights, music playing from one computer while dual-screen setup with my work computer and another monitor and a nice comfy office chair.

How do you like to spend time outside of work?

Outside of work I enjoy going for walks and going skateboarding. On rainy or lazy days I like to stay in binge-watching programs or playing games on my computer with friends.
