About Me

Motivated career-changer with a successful track record in Consulting, specifically Space and Data Management. Currently transitioning into a Junior Full Stack Software Engineer role, leveraging a strong background in Python, Django, and databases, with practical experience in real-world projects. Passionate about solving complex problems and eager to apply software engineering skills to dynamic projects.

My journey into coding began quite unexpectedly — my wife came across a five-day coding challenge and encouraged me to give it a try. What started as a small experiment quickly turned into a genuine passion for programming. I discovered how much I enjoyed building things, solving logical problems, and seeing ideas come to life through code.

Finding that I really enjoyed the experience, I completed a Diploma in Full Stack Software Development with Code Institute, where I gained hands-on experience developing full-stack web applications using modern technologies. Although it wasn't the right time to transition careers immediately after graduating, a redundancy at the end of 2024 gave me the perfect opportunity to refocus on my goal. To refresh my knowledge and keep up with the latest technologies, I enrolled in the HyperionDev Software Engineering Bootcamp, further strengthening my practical skills and preparing to enter the industry as a confident and capable developer.
