I'm Ellis Collinson.
Strong web architect with a passion for crafting user-centric interfaces and experiences. Adept in both design and development, I build beautiful, functional, and impactful websites and apps.
What is this website?
This website is a comprehensive repository for tracking my personal goals, ongoing projects, and notable achievements. It not only serves as a personal resource but also showcases my skills. I envision it as an invaluable tool for self-reflection, enabling me to assess my growth and evolution as both a designer and developer.
Built with Next.js, a React framework, styled with Tailwind CSS, and designed in Figma, this site embodies a commitment to using cutting-edge technologies. Hosted on Vercel, it guarantees seamless accessibility and performance. In the near future, I plan to transform this site into a small-scale Content Management System (CMS), which will include a blog for sharing insights, progress updates, and creative ideas.
This website is still under very active development.
A little about me.
Here are a few of the skills that I have have been focusing on in the past few years. I have been working on a variety of projects, some of which are still in development, and some of which are live. I have also been working on a few personal projects, such as this website, and a few others that are still in the planning stages.
Design & FE Development
Initially starting a core design, I have since moved to front-end development, typically using Frameworks such as React, with a focus on Tailwind CSS.
DevOps & Cloud Computing
I have experience with DevOps and Cloud Computing, including AWS, Azure, and GCP. I have also worked with Docker and Kubernetes.
Mobile App Development
Thanks to React Native, I have built a series of mobile apps all with different purposes and audiences. I have also experimented with Flutter.
Graphic Design
I love creating small-scale graphics, such as logos and icons. Many of these designs have been uploaded and have seen 25,595 (since last check) downloads and counting.
Active Side Projects 🚀
Here are my currently active projects, all of which are in various stages of development. The currently live version of each of these projects are available to view, if there are any projects that are locked behind a login screen, please contact me for access.
Spotify Clone
I've been working on a Spotify clone (design only for now) using Next.js and Tailwind CSS. The project is still in its early stages, but I'm excited to see how it progresses.
Personal Portfolio / CMS
I'm currently working on a personal CMS using Next.js and Tailwind CSS. The CMS will be used to host a blog, which will be used to share insights, progress updates, and creative ideas.
PaperTrail
I'm developing a fullstack Next.js web app that allows for the management of contracts. The app will be used to store, edit, and delete contracts, as well as to create new ones. This includes full JWT authentication and a custom API.
Coming Soon...
This mini-project is still being planned. Please come back soon to see what I'm working on!
