I recently completed a Level 5 Diploma in Web Development and Design at Ara while working in retail at the airport, and I have 18 years of experience in customer service and retail. I enjoy hands-on IT projects, building live sites, and contributing to GitHub projects such as the Stringed Instruments Project. I’m a mature, reliable, friendly, and professional person who loves pop culture, gaming, and technology, with a long-standing interest in computers since the Atari era. In my spare time I enjoy photography and have started contributing to Adobe Stock. I grew up around horse racing stables and farming, which has given me a practical, down-to-earth approach to work. I’m a geek at heart and enjoy learning new tech, solving problems, and applying my skills to real-world projects both in web development and IT. I’m looking to expand my portfolio and gain more hands-on experience in development and design.
