I am a UK based Full-Stack Software Developer with 7+ years of industry experience. My journey started with Java but I have since worked with a wide variety of technologies. I've gained significant experience with Java, JavaScript jQuery, HTML5, CSS and MySQL. As well as these technologies, I've also built and deployed an Android App and iOS App and have also got some recent experience with React and React Native.
My experience with Java includes using Spring, Hibernate, Maven and JDBC. I've coded using Eclipse, Spring Tool Suite, and recently started using IntelliJ Idea for creating a Spring Boot app. I've gained recent experiece using Visual Studio Code for front-end development.
I'm really passionate about upskilling and connecting with others in the Tech community.
- My first experience of programming was with the visual programming language Max MSP, which I was introduced to during my BSc in Music Technology.
- I landed my first tech job through fellow volunteers, whilst helping out a local charity shop.
- Giving back feels good. I've done a few 13 mile bike rides and 10K runs for various charities, and also I volunteered at the 2023 and 2024 Manchester Tech Festival events.
- Music. My taste is pretty varied, but my absolute favouite genres are Bhangra and UK Garage.
- Coffee.
- Chocolate.
- Pasta. Mac n Cheese is the ULTIMATE comfort food!!
- Puzzles. I've been doing Sudokos since my teen years, and I'm currently working through my second 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle!
- Sunflowers. During the Pandemic, lots of bright and tall ones dominated the garden.
- Colour. The world would be a dull place without it!
