Cover Letter:
Hi
In April 2019, I was fortunate to achieve the UK government Recognition Award from the Cabinet Office. You can see this award at my website (below).
As the lead web and mobile developer at Joystick, since February 2024, I created the mobile app and website for the company. In April 2025, I was then promoted to chief technical officer (CTO).
As the CTO of Joystick, I create, manage, and deploy the software solutions that Joystick offers. I oversee and contribute towards the complete technical operations for the company, including but not limited to managing programming, IT infrastructure, task management, development, team members, and product technical direction.
I create and manage websites, mobile apps, and APIs using JavaScript, ExpressJS, NodeJS, ReactJS, ReactJS Native, and more.
I achieved the UK government Cabinet Office Recognition Award at 22 years old (22/04/19) (link) (link2).
I didn't go to university.
JavaScript, SQL, Bash.
