ABOUT ME

I am a dedicated, capable and versatile Full Stack Developer with a strong desire to further learn Software Engineering. Self-teaching using online learning tools such as Udemy sparked a desire to retrain as a Full Stack Developer by enrolling onto a full time bootcamp at General Assembly.

I enjoy both the creativity and the act of building in Software Engineering. I am confident in solving significant complex problems at speed and being a reliable team player.

With over seven years of working experience in marketing, management and entrepreneurship, I have honed the key administrational, organisational, and interpersonal skills gained from my career and successfully applied them to my education in Software Engineering.

I am seeking an opportunity where I can take advantage of my experience, education and technical skills to make a valuable contribution to an organisation while continuing my growth.

Interests

In my spare time I like to keep busy. I am currently learning Luganda and continue to hone my skills on the piano. I also love reading history and finding out about how many interconnected events impact the present day. When I do find some free time I enjoy socialising with my friends, typically playing games of all genres which I think appeal to the analytical thinker in me!

I also have a keen interest in sport. I play football regularly enjoying the teamwork and camaraderie that comes from the game.

Above all, humour is what I value most and the ability to laugh at ones self as well as the crazy twists and turns that life throws at us all is what sees me through the thick and thin of things. If you would like to talk shop over a drink or fancy learning to play the keyboard like Elton John, please do get in touch.
