Hi, my name is Marta Pinto Basto
I'm the Developer you are looking for.

Let's talk!

About me

Profile Image

After starting off as a Social Media Coordinator, I spent lockdown learning Python, Javascript and React to transition into the universe of Web Development. Throughout this process, I grew to love this field and created projects that make my parents proud.

Growing up, my parents always encouraged me to develop a creative side, so I learned to play guitar and piano(I've also been accused of being a good singer!), as well as foreign languages such as French. This lead me to get a degree in Modern Languages.

My hunger for knowledge has contributed to the progress of my career over the years. Having a positive attitude and tireless energy at the workplace, helped my team to succeed. Recently, I developed an organisation method that improves the way my team accesses reviews for reporting purposes, which has massively increased our productivity.

My partner and I recently moved to the Lake District. I love the outdoors and occasionally do a bit of hiking, but I also enjoy reading or a good gaming session at the end of the day!

Background Generator

Background Generator is a nice and easy tool that allows users to create a gradient background for websites. When the user chooses their two desired colors, the background generator will provide the respective CSS code, which can be copied and used at will.
