Available to hire
I’m Stef Braithwaite, an experienced professional who pivoted from operations in the investment industry to web development. With 16 years in my previous field, I bring a raft of transferable skills, including consistently delivering high-quality resolutions for clients, handling multiple complex work streams, prioritising tasks, meeting deadlines, and managing expectations. I approach problem-solving logically and thoroughly, and I find satisfaction in tackling complex challenges, which fits perfectly with coding.
I’m a keen learner, with Udemy and SheCodes certifications, gaining experience in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, React, Bootstrap, Python and more. I regularly work on and support Shopify stores, from blank states to launch, including adjusting the Liquid code. I’m invested in equal rights, ensuring everyone feels accepted and has opportunities, including within their workplace. For five years I was a committee member within the M&G Embrace Network (an employee-led D&I initiative) to promote diversity and equity across race, ethnicity, faith and culture.
