About Me
For the last 9 months, learning to code every day has brought me a new lease of life, refining my skills in JavaScript and Ruby so I can begin my first role as a Junior Full Stack Developer. I have blogged about my experience on my coding instagram that you can find here.
Since graduating from Makers, I have been working on my JavaScript and React skills, constantly finding ways to improve and challenge myself to build applications that showcase and expand my coding.
If you would like to learn more about the path I took in order to become a software developer my resume is linked below
