About me

My Coding journey began in earnest over a year ago, I had been working in orthopaedic physiotherapy as an assistant and within the care sector for over ten years. I needed a change and having a keen interest in tech and the web I decided to learn what all these funny symbols meant.

My efforts to learn have been greatly rewarded and covering many languages from javaScript to Python and bootstrap to C# I have developed into a keen motivated and excited developer.

I enjoy creating and embrace the process, my meticulousness and obsessive nature of the small details makes the development world my home. I enjoy turning peoples visions into practical, responsive and attractive websites.
