About

I have recently entered the world of full stack web development after having completed an intensive 9-week Ruby on Rails course at Le Wagon code school.

Prior to this, I had five years experience in the Information Technology sector working as a Storage Engineer, AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Systems Administrator.

Having worked in high-pressure media environments, I was frequently in situations where I had to think on my feet and troubleshoot.

I have worked in teams of varying sizes and skill sets but also had to use my initiative to work independently when needed.

I enjoy the opportunity to work outside of my comfort zone to expand on industry knowledge, learning new skills and technologies.
