Hello, I'm

Alice Henry

Software Developer & Problem Solver

Crafting elegant solutions through clean code and thoughtful design

About Me

I leverage the creative foundations and design principles I honed at VCAD (Visual College of Art and Design) alongside my technical expertise to craft engaging, user-friendly applications that make people's lives easier.

Whether it's a collaborative NoteApp or a dynamic Weather App, I focus on blending clean, thoughtful design with solid functionality. I thrive on tackling real-world challenges and turning fresh ideas into polished digital tools that help people get things done more easily.

Staying curious and always learning, I believe great technology should be simple, accessible, and empowering for everyone from end users to fellow developers.
