About Me

I found my old career was no longer satisfying and wanted to make a change. Since I always had an interest in I.T. I decided to commit to be becoming a programmer. The learning opportunities of becoming a full stack (Software Engineer) web developer had become available and demand is high. I have always loved new technologies and have begun my journey doing a fully supported boot camp course. I have found my passion again and can’t wait to gain some industry experience, and build some sophisticated websites, Apps and sites. I am just loving playing with sorting problems out with websites and learning code is so exciting. I now look forward to the new challenges I have in front me. I am hoping I can find a full time role as a Full Stack Web Developer. My Curriculum encompasses the following competencies, programs and subject matter. HTML, Git, CSS, Sinatra, JavaScript, SQL, Rail React & Rack, Object Orientation API interactions, Database modelling & MVC, SASS & Application deployment and more.

The other driving force is the people I have met and worked with, having that support and giving support creates positive outcomes in people and myself. The communities and the team environments are really great to be a part of and hope to meet lots of great people.

Industry I Came From
