Hi, I'm Jozef Kowalski

Thanks for stopping by my Portfolio website!

I've been studying and working in software development for the past 3 years. But I've been programming side projects for a lot longer than that - some of which you'll find highlighted on this site! I've primarily been doing web development with frameworks like Svelte and React; but I've also been working on some game development in my spare time. I'm also a hobbyist photographer and an avid reader and writer.
