Neill Somerville Portfolio

About

I'm a full stack developer with a passion for creating clean, modern, mobile ready web applications that put the user experience first.

Prior to web development I worked in ecommerce, first as a marketplace sales specialist and later as an account manager for large platform clients, serving Amazon, Ebay, Walmart, and more.

I have always been passionate about software development and the user experience which I believe are essential to providing easy and simple access to education and improving one's quality of life.
