Why I Am Here

My journey into technology began after two years of managing a local shop. Though I had a diploma in computing, it wasn't until I started learning web development in my free time that I found my true calling. The basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript opened up a new world for me. This self-study led me to join Northcoders' bootcamp, where I gained solid skills in full-stack development.

My background gives me a unique view of the tech world. From my time in retail, I learned how to work with people and solve everyday problems. Now, I combine these skills with my tech knowledge to build useful software. I aim to create programs that meet real needs and are easy for people to use.

Each new project is a chance to use my mix of people skills and coding ability. I focus on making things that work well and truly help users. As I grow in this field, I want to work on projects that make a real difference in how people use technology. My goal is to create software that's both powerful and user-friendly, drawing on my understanding of customer needs and good design.

To further improve my skills, I am starting BSc (Hons) Computer Science starting this September (2025).

What I Can Do

With these skills, I can build entire websites from the ground up. I start by making the backend - that's the part of a website that users don't see, but it's crucial for storing and managing data. I use a method called test-driven development to make sure everything works properly. Then, I create the frontend - the part of the website that people interact with. I make sure it looks good and is easy to use.

My knowledge of both frontend and backend makes me a full-stack developer. This means I can work on all parts of a website. I enjoy seeing a project through from start to finish, making sure all the pieces fit together well. My goal is always to create websites that are not only powerful but also simple for people to use.

Beyond the Code

My interests extend beyond the world of technology. As a child, I often found myself lost in imagination, swinging a wooden stick on our balcony under the moonlight. In my mind, I was wielding a powerful sword, sending arc-like slashes through the air, much like the characters in my favorite anime series.

This love for fantasy has stayed with me. I'm an avid reader of Xianxia and Xuanhuan novels, genres that blend martial arts and mysticism. I also enjoy fan fiction, particularly stories set in the universes of Harry Potter, Marvel, Swallowed Star, Naruto, and One Piece.

If you share a passion for fantasy or creative writing, I'd be delighted to discuss it further. Who knows? We might even collaborate on a fantasy novel someday. Feel free to reach out using any of the contact methods provided at the top of this page.
