I am a Full Stack Developer seeking a role where I can learn something new every day. I taught myself to code in my spare time enjoying it so much, that I changed career and re-trained at Makers Academy.
I am passionate about technology and love to be challenged, programming to me is the perfect combination of the two.
Before re-training I ran the London Production department for a large law firms.
| Project | Demo | Description | Technologies Used | Testing Technologies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Robotwars | Final Presentation | Building a bot, to make intelligent decisions, to play a local game against other developer's bots. Playing a two player twist on Conway's Game of Life. | Ruby | RSpec |
| Blockchain | Video Demo & What is a Blockchain Presentation | Building a Blockchain in one week | Ruby, HTML, Bootstrap | RSpec, Capybara |
- Communication - Each day over the last three months, I have either been pair programming or working in an Agile team of 4-6 people.
- Fast and Adaptable learner - Whilst at MakersAcademy I have been challenged to both learn a new technology and build a program in that new language within a week. Please view my Projects above.
- Feedback - I enjoy and thrive off receiving feedback. I believe this is one of the strongest ways to learn and have found it incredibly useful to my development.
- Analytical thinker / Problem Solver - Having taken on some complex challenges, I have greatly expanded my analytical abilities. An example would be the Blockchain project above: Understanding and building this involved diagramming, planning, discussions, prototyping and testing - before the actual building of this project.
