About
I hold a 2:1 degree in Business Studies and have recently transitioned into the IT industry, driven by a strong passion for coding and web development. Over the past 12 months, I’ve completed an intensive coding course with IT Career Switch, where I built a strong foundation in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, GitHub, and Visual Studio Code. I’ve also expanded my skills to include PHP, jQuery, Python, working with APIs, and databases.
I enjoy creating clean, user-friendly, and functional digital solutions, and thrive on the logical, problem-solving nature of development. My business background brings a structured, goal-oriented mindset to every project I take on. I'm now looking for a junior developer role where I can apply my skills, gain hands-on experience, and continue to grow within the industry.
