About me
I am a proactive, logical thinker who enjoys linking problem solving with creativity. I have been interested in web and software development for a while, and last year the timing was right for me to start pursuing this passion.
Having spent much of the past year growing my skills as a developer whilst on a coding bootcamp course (IT Career Switch), I am now hoping to take the next step and break into the exciting and ever growing IT industry.
