About
Based in Durban.
Built for UK teams.
I'm Kalen Young, a frontend and full-stack developer based in Durban, South Africa. My stack is Angular, React, TypeScript, C#/.NET, and Supabase, with Tailwind doing most of the visual heavy lifting.
My strongest recent work is a production role with COHO, a UK property tech company, where code I wrote shipped into their live codebase.
I grew up in England and live in Durban now, holding dual UK/South African citizenship and working comfortably with UK teams remotely. I'm currently looking for junior frontend or full-stack roles with UK-based companies.
Outside of code I ride motorbikes, ski when the mountains cooperate, and make music.
