About

A conscientious, driven and professional individual with experience in front-end development, team leadership and customer service. After discovering my passion for web development, I couldn't get enough. I made small websites for friends and family, which accelerated into undertaking a Software Development MSc. Now currently working as a Junior Front-End Developer at Adzuna. Key Skills:                             • Passion for computers and technology                             • Experience with languages JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3 & SQL • Other: GitHub, GitLab, React, Tailwind, Bootstrap, jQuery, REST API, Third Party APIs, Node.js • Keen eye for design and building attractive interfaces                             • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal                             • Great attention to detail and highly organised                             • Ability to work under tight deadlines                             • Cloud technologies Docker and Kubernetes. A lifetime love for skateboarding has leant itself to my web development passion, as it is ingrained in my character to be constantly learning and improving, be that a new trick or a new framework. My journalism degree taught me to explore topics and discover links to achieve unbiased and well-balanced pieces. Much like software development, analytical methods and systematic processes need to be practised in order to assemble the most effective communication. I have carried this through every role I have undertaken. With these fundamental skills, I was able to develop rigorous organisational capabilities that assisted me in programming large scale events in one of the most popular event spaces in South London. I am constantly in the loop with the latest technological advances in the computer technology industry.
