About

I'm a full-stack JavaScript developer currently working as a Frontend Software Engineer for PayPal. I have a keen interest in JavaScript development, particularly with Node.js and front-end frameworks like React and AngularJS. I've also delved into Python and iOS/Swift. I have experience of the following languages and technologies, amongst others: ▪ Platforms: JavaScript/Node.js, Typescript, Python, Swift, Web and Mobile-Web (HTML5/CSS3) ▪ Frameworks: React.js, Next.js, AngularJS, Ember, Polymer, Flask ▪ Libraries: Formik, Jest, Nightwatch.js, Recharts, Nivo, Bootstrap, Materialize, Socket.IO, Mocha, Chai ▪ Servers: Express.js, Linux, NGINX ▪ Databases: MySQL, MongoDB/Mongoose ▪ Other Technologies: React Native, Xcode, Git/GitHub Before making a career change to programming, I completed a 4-year integrated MRes/PhD studentship funded by Newcastle University, which I graduated from in July 2016. My PhD research was in the field of Molecular Microbiology, and aimed at investigating the effect and role of the amino acid L-arginine on Streptococcus gordonii biofilms, particularly the impact it can have on gene expression and biofilm formation itself. I was supervised by Dr Nick Jakubovics and Dr Matthew German of the School of Dental Sciences, and Prof Waldemar Vollmer of the Centre for Bacterial Cell Biology.
