Front-end Developer
About Me
After eight years of incredible experiences as a data specialist and technology leader in UK government, and as a strategy director in the education sector, I have had the extraordinary opportunity to relocate to the United States. Along with the big change of location, I have seized on the parallel opportunity to retrain as a front-end developer.
Retraining has allowed me to sharpen and apply existing coding skills, to get to know the production side of a field I love, and to prove that I really do learn quickly!
I am currently seeking roles which offer me the opportunity to work closely with clients, ideally within multi-disciplinary teams. In particular, I would love a role in an organisation which prizes learning and development, in an environment where staff are passionate about their subject matter.
Please take some time to explore my portfolio, and don't hesitate to ask if there's a skill you'd like to see demonstrated or a project you'd like to discuss.
Thanks,
