Currently, I am a Junior Software Developer at UniTaskr, where I am leveraging my skills to build innovative software solutions. During my time there I have helped build the UI for a brand new app which serves a user base of over 250,000 students and businesses. Following this, I have built the UI for the apps premium subscription model which businesses can sign up to to post jobs and tasks.

Outside of work, I enjoy Muay Thai training, reading, going to local music gigs, playing chess, and watching sports.

Education

The Odin Project

Self-Led Web Development Framework | Full Stack JavaScript

Oct 2020 - Nov 2021

An online curriculum that taught me everything I needed to know to create beautiful responsive websites from scratch using JavaScript.

JavaScript - Learned how to make websites dynamic and interactive with JavaScript. Also created features and stand-alone applications. Also made projects where I learned how to manipulate the DOM, use object-oriented programming principles, and build single page applications with React.

HTML / CSS - This course took a deeper look at front-end design, expanding on what I'd already covered in The Odin Projects Foundations course. I learned how to design responsive websites that work on any device and also had a chance to create my own responsive design framework.
