I was introduced to programming when I was 13, dabbling in HTML (only) and later learning programming fundamentals through Python. I studied Computer Science at school and further education. My final project led me to build a game using a framework called Phaser.js. This was my first interaction with Javascript. The game involved players trying to balance the most number of boxes dropped from above. I enjoyed working on it.

I studied Computer Science at university but noticed I missed being artistic and visually creative. I knew front-end development existed, so I took the earliest opportunity to dive in. It reignited my passion for technology. Merging creativity with technicality felt hugely familiar. I graduated from higher education but continued to learn with ambitions to enter the web industry.

Today, I'm a graduate frontend developer working at a digital healthcare company. I primarily code in React and Typescript while continuing to enhance my web development skills.
