About Me

After returning from Los Angeles in early 2015, I decided to pursue a change of career in web development and I haven't looked back. It took me a while to find programming in my life but from the first day I started teaching myself, I knew I loved it.

I decided to enrol in General Assembly's Web Development Immersive course and I've loved everything that I've come across in GA as I love being challenged with complex problems. I want to go forward in my career now and tackle even more as I try to become a better developer.

I have worked across multiple industries including medical services, hospitality and IT with a wide exposure to different business environment and client types. I love coding and technology and am very active in the Sydney community. I am looking to work with an employer where I can grow and learn while making meaningful contributions to a project.
