Who I am

Software Developer

Hi there! Thanks for coming to read my portfolio page. Here's a little bit about me:

I'm a full-stack developer with over 2 years of experience building and maintaining JavaScript applications.

During lockdowns I took up an offer to learn PHP which sparked an interest in learning to code.

I started to build Discord bots for a small gaming community to replicate features they felt were missing in their game.

In 2022 I joined a market-leading bootcamp to facilitate my career change.

The 13 week course was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Being able to learn to code for 7 hours a day in an organised way helped to create discipline in the way I code as well as give exposure to real world scenarios that you just can't get from online self-paced learning.

During the course as well as building strong fundamentals in JavaScript and Agile development we have the opportunity to build 2 solo projects and work together as a team towards a final project.

You can find all of these below in the My Projects section

Harnessing those new skills I accepted a role at edX to help create the next generation of front-end developers as a bootcamp teaching assistant.

I have been able to guide over 100 students from their first “hello world” to producing deployed React apps.

Breaking down complex theory into easy to understand principles across topics including: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript, jQuery, REST API’s, ES6, Node.js, OOP, and React

I'm now now to further my commercial experience and work with additional technologies.

Our app

Dancify is an app that connects people who love to dance. Anyone can sign up to the app, create a profile, setting your dance style, your role (as a lead or follow), and the range they wish to search for dance partners. Once you have your profile ready, you can message other dancers in order to meet up to practice your dance steps.

Tech Stack

We used React Native, React Native Map, Tailwindcss, CSS, Axios, Expo, Firebase, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage for Firebase and Postcodes.io.
