I'm a Junior Software engineer, with a passion for delivering real-world solutions with a strong focus on user needs, while meeting project specifications. I’ve honed my skills in Python, CSS, HTML5, and even dabbled in C.
Additionally, I have a background in digital product designer with 2.5 years of experience. In my previous role, I stayed hands-on with coding while crafting seamless digital experiences. Highlights include:
- Designing, Developing and owning a Gas Safety Project from start to finish. Tools include: Figma, HTML5, CSS, and Apex.
- Collaborating with a systems architect to merge 8 invoice templates into one cohesive design using Salesforce Apex, HTML, and CSS.
- Authoring bespoke email templates across multiple projects.
- Unifying email templates under a single design guideline.
To see my skills at work, please take a look at the web app Job Hunt Manager that I both designed and developed:
