👀 I'm a software developer and quality engineer with a background in web development and the creative industries. I also wrote a children's book about where English words come from. I've got experience in Python, JavaScript, Typescript and Swift, alongside Agile scrum, web development and project management skills I picked up in a previous life. I bring a unique blend of technical proficiency and strong communication skills to the table, but most of all I like to experiment with new technologies and am always looking to expand my programming skills! 👀
🌱 I’m currently working on a word-guessing game built with Typescript, and I just completed a bootcamp at Makers Academy focussing on Python, Javascript and Swift 🌱
💞️ I love to learn and work in a team, so if you're looking to collaborate on anything from apps to Stellaris mods, send me a message 💞️
📫 If you want to hear more, check out my CV on GitHub Pages or reach out on LinkedIn or here on GitHub. Or you could send me a challenge on Codewars 📫
