Recently I have decided to change careers and dive into the world of software development, using Northcoders to help kickstart this. During my time in my previous roles, I have gained experience and knowledge with different UIs, operating systems and general technical skills, along with a lot of transferable skills such as working with a team in high pressure environments. My family have always been a part of the software engineering industry, so I have decided to focus my efforts on this for the foreseeable future. I am currently training with Northcoders, building projects and collaborating with peers to reinforce testing and communication, with a passion for learning and delivering quality software.
