About Me
Well I'm a web developer, a programmer. I am really passionate about my programming, I have spent 5 years doing it. If I have an idea or I see something online and I think "I wonder how they did that" I will sit down and code it out.
Before University I had never coded before, I played a lot of games as a kid and found it so fascinating how a bunch of lines of code could produce something so fun and pleasing to the eye, this fueled my ambition to learn to program at University. There I learned about Web development and discovered the intriguing design process of making a website, the details of what goes on behind the page and the psychological aspect of keeping a user interested enough to stay on the site.
In my spare time other than coding I like to bake. My signature item to bake is shortbread, it's simple but it makes my friends and family happy to eat it.
Skills and experience
I've picked up a few things in my time programming, you can see below all the programming languages and tools I've become accustomed to and use very regularly throughout my day to day with either my job or on my own personal projects.
