Personal Introduction

Over the past three plus years, I’ve been on the detailed yet often unpredictable journey of teaching myself how to code. I’ve worked through guided courses from providers such as Google and freeCodeCamp, and paired that with plenty of self-directed learning - diving deep into YouTube tutorials, Reddit threads, Stack Overflow documentation, and GitHub projects in an effort to truly understand what it means to be a developer. Along the way, I’ve explored everything from core computer architecture, general troubleshooting, and mathematical logic, to design principles, object-oriented programming and coding languages, which led me to finally landing my first role in IT. Looking back I understand that my biggest challenge was overcoming my own fear, being faced with the very complex, diverse and evergrowing world technology was scary and quite humbling, but I'm certainly glad I kept going. I hope that this portfolio-site offers you a clear sense of what I'm capable of creating, while also allowing some of my personality shine through.
