About
I am a highly self-motivated and creative individual with a background in the creative arts, and am aiming to change my career. I have developed skills in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and would like to transition into a role in Frontend Development.
My passion for Software & Web Development stemmed from my love of creative writing. Having participated in online writing websites, I began using code to create profile aesthetics for fictional characters. Since then, my love of code has grown into a love for designing both visually appealing and functional interfaces.
I would like an apprenticeship because I feel ready to bridge the gap between learning in my own free time, and working on real time projects with other people. As a driven individual and a fast learner, I feel that a hands-on style would suit me well, and enable me to develop my skills.
