Full Stack Developer
HTML | CSS | JS | React | C# | SQL | Event Store | Agile & Scrum
I spent many years as a project manager, but I've always had an interest in coding since starting out writing BASIC on a Commodore VIC20 as a child. In my project management jobs, I found ways to use VBA coding to automate and speed up repetitive tasks. After deciding to change career path, I retrained as a full stack developer with iO Academy, graduating in 2020. I now have three years experience as a software developer.
