With a background in hospitality, I developed strong customer service and teamwork skills while thriving in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Motivated by a long-standing passion for technology, I recently completed a full-stack coding traineeship, delivering two real-world projects to specification using a diverse range of languages and tools. I'm dedicated, reliable, and possess strong problem-solving skills, keen attention to detail, and a genuine drive to succeed. I specialise in building end-to-end web applications that combine responsive, user-friendly front-end interfaces with robust, scalable back-end systems. My focus is on writing clean, efficient code that delivers both functionality and a seamless user experience. I'm committed to continuous learning and professional growth, and I am eager to contribute to a development team and grow as a software professional. In my spare time I work on personal projects such as Gazetteer (map-based application) and a Company Directory, which demonstrate my ability to turn requirements into polished solutions.
