About me...

Junior full-stack developer

I am a budding junior developer with a passion for problem solving, puzzles and pizza.

Previously in my career I spent 7 years working within hosting and infrastructure and most recently as a hybrid cloud consultant specialising in assisting businesses with their digital transformation. Working closely with web and software, site reliability, and DevOps engineers for so many years really amplified my enthusiasm for technology to the point where I want to take my passion for solving problems into a more technical career.

Having now graduated from Makers (UK's leading programming bootcamp), I am eager to join a great team that genuinely love what they do. With a drive and determination to improve and succeed, coupled with 7 years commercial experience, I believe I would be a strong addition to the right tech team.
