I'm a 24-year-old full-stack software developer with over a year of consistent coding experience. My passion for coding began after transitioning from my previous career in commercial sales. In the construction industry, I was constantly witnessing inefficiencies that could be solved by simple, intuitive software, and this sparked my desire to make a change. I want to be part of the teams that are driving this change and constantly enjoying the challenge of learning and improving as technology grows.

Education & Bootcamp Experience

In September 2023, I attended Makers Academy, a highly selective software development bootcamp in London. I learned key principles like OOP, TDD, and gained hands-on experience with Agile practices. My projects ranged from Python to JavaScript, including two full-stack MERN applications.

Since completing the bootcamp, I have worked on solo projects, focusing on frameworks like Next.js, and learning Typescript, and Tailwind CSS. Feel free to explore my projects page or my GitHub to see what I've been building lately!

I built this portfolio website using Next.js, Typescript, Tailwind CSS, and a MongoDB database.

Business Background

I have a degree in Business Management & Accounting and Finance from Nottingham Trent University. During my degree, I completed a year-long industry placement in the construction sector. Initially, I started in management but quickly transitioned into sales due to my strong interpersonal skills. I decided to keep my full time job in sales while going back to university. Balancing full-time work while studying gave me excellent time management and self-motivation skills. During my time in the industry I had the opportunity to work on some of the UK's largest infrastructure projects, including HS2.

Interests & Hobbies

Outside of coding, I am passionate about staying active. I'm a scratch golfer and enjoy running, going to the gym, and skiing. Recently, I've taken up tennis. Feel free to check out my gallery to see some moments I've captured over the years.
