About Me


I have always had a passion for technology and am interested in all aspects of it. I love figuring out how things work and am always keen to learn more about everything. I have taken up many different hobbies including Photography, 3D Modelling/Printing, Video Games, and Electronics. I spend most of my free time learning and developing my skills and am looking forward to being given an opportunity to build on them in a professional environment.


I attended Cardiff University and received a Certificate of Higher Education in Integrated Engineering. My experience at university has helped me figure out that I find the software side of engineering much more enjoyable than the mechanical, and I am interested in pursuing a career in the tech industry because of it. My university course has provided me with a foundation in C++, mathematical concepts, and Circuit Design & Analysis. I have built on this foundation through self-learning resources and have developed an understanding of web development tools like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I am currently trying to gain more knowledge in these areas and am working my way to having a good understanding of programming languages such as Python and C++ in order to be able to develop applications in areas I am more interested in such as Virtual Reality and Machine Learning.


I am looking for a career in web development that can help teach me more about the industry. I am hard working, and I am passionate about the things I am interested in. I am keen to gain experience and to learn as much as I can, and I believe that is what makes me suited for an field that is always changing and improving.

Skills and Interests


Creativity


I have a few years of experience with Photography and using image manipulation software such as Adobe Lightroom and GIMP. I have also been training myself how to use 3D Modelling software like Blender to help me with 3D Printing.


Web Development


I am currently teaching myself how to design and manage websites using Codecademy and other self-learning resources. I have a good understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I hope to teach myself how to use React, MySQL, and PHP and to build my own website sometime in the near future.


Programming


I have been taught programming basics in both Python and C++ at university and am continuing to teach myself more complex concepts. I hope to be proficient with these languages in order to be able to use them for machine learning applications sometime in the near future.
