With a masters degree in Politics, my shift to tech comes as a u-turn in my career path. As upon leaving university, it seemed the right time to start to pursue my passion for tech and my interest in software development, particularly for the web.

I recently completed the Le Wagon coding bootcamp, where I worked as a team leader to develop two full stack apps from conception to delivery. I was successful in managing multiple priorities and varying team dynamics with a positive attitude. I am a creative and highly motivated team player who’s always looking to take on extra responsibility and help others. I am currently seeking a full time role in which I can deepen my knowledge of all things coding.

I have experience with Ruby and using Ruby on Rails, as well as HTML, CSS and Javascript. I have coordinated teams using Github and I have a good knowledge of API’s, with particular focus on different Web API’s for audio such as Tone.js, Web Audio API, P5.js and Pizzicato.

I have yet to gain professional experience.
