What makes me, me:

Throughout my life I have pursued developing my creative and critical thinking skills.
My critical skills come from my time studying physics at the University of manchester. With my day to day consisting of solving problems, I developed a methodical mind to breaking tasks down and simplifying to get the best results. Me being imperfect, I had to do away with my fear of asking for help for the sake of the task at hand and my own improvement.
My creativity is rooted in my love for music. From the wild and experimental sounds of the French Igorrr to the melancholy of the American La Dispute. I have broadened my mind through learning songs myself on the guitar to think outside the bounds of what I previously thought I was capable of.

Through performing music in my younger years, I have developed a comfortability for the stage and as such I feel confident in performing presentations and public speaking.
For a quick look at some of the projects i have worked on:

Skills:


During my studies at University I learned alot about working with others. This is mostly from doing lab work with a partner. In doing this effectively I learned about teamwork and time management.



Additionally, I learned a lot about communication doing this as we would have to discuss methodologies for our experiments and present our findings at the end of a project. During this time, we created python scripts to run complex calculations and algorithms to aid our data analysis.




Coding Education:


The bulk of my coding knowledge comes from doing courses at Codecademy. In doing the full stack development course, I studied the PERN stack and found that the part I enjoyed the most was working on frontends with React to create Interactive displays for web apps. I also learned how to use GitHub, Node, Express, PostgreSQL and Firebase.



In addition to this, I took the JQuery, PHP, Python, Java and C# courses to expand the scope of my knowledge.
