About Me

Hi, I’m Anthony Shead — a full-stack developer who loves turning ideas into intuitive products. I’m steadily working toward polyglot-level proficiency while completing the IBM Full-Stack JavaScript Developer certification and expanding the service catalog for my studio, Soren Tech.

Right now my toolkit leans on Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and MongoDB, and I’m actively leveling up my backend automation and cloud workflows with Python, Redis, Docker, and AWS. Every engagement is an opportunity to blend user-centered thinking with reliable engineering.

Outside of code you’ll find me in the pool, at the gym, or exploring new games — all outlets that keep me creative and balanced. If you’d like to collaborate, let’s connect! I run two GitHub accounts (Drakeze and DrakezeWinds) so feel free to explore both.
