Kyle Mardell

Full Stack Web Developer

React • Django • PostgreSQL • Responsive Design

I'm Kyle, a full-stack developer based in Manchester.

I recently completed a Full Stack Software Development diploma,
where I built projects with React, Django REST, and PostgreSQL.

With a background in technical problem-solving and customer-focused work,
I bring strong attention to detail to each project and learn from every experience.

I'm eager to keep learning, build meaningful web applications,
and contribute to a forward-thinking development team.

About Me

I'm Kyle Mardell, a full-stack software developer based in Manchester, U.K.

My background is a little different from most developers — I spent years
solving problems hands-on as a vehicle technician before retraining in full-stack development.

That technical mindset, plus over a decade in customer-facing roles,
taught me how to break down complex problems and communicate solutions clearly.

I recently completed a diploma in Full-Stack Software Development,
where I built real-world projects with React, Django REST Framework, and PostgreSQL.

I enjoy the balance of creative front-end work and logical back-end problem-solving,
and I'm always looking for opportunities to learn new tools and frameworks.

Skills

I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and
learning new frameworks quickly when projects demand it.

Here are the core technologies and tools I've been working with
while building full-stack web applications.

Front-End

React, Next.js, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap

Back-End

Python, Django, Django REST Framework, PostgreSQL

Version Control

Git, GitHub

Other

REST APIs, Deployment (CapRover, VPS), Problem Solving, Organisation

Background

Alongside my technical skills, here's a quick look at my recent education and experience that shaped me as a developer.

Education

Diploma in Full-Stack Software Development
Code Institute (2025)
BSc Computer Games Technology
Manchester Metropolitan University (2009)

Experience

Recently transitioned into web development after completing my diploma. Built and deployed full-stack apps using React, Django, and PostgreSQL.
I continue to develop personal projects and expand my skill set, learning modern tools such as Next.js and TypeScript to stay up to date with current industry practices.
My background outside of tech gave me strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

I'm always open to new opportunities, collaborations, or just a chat about web development. The best way to reach me is by email or through my LinkedIn.
