I am an experienced Business Analyst and Product Owner with over 10 years of industry experience, who is seeking to transition into the software development industry. I have a passion for technology, and a strong foundation in coding (supported by the recent completion of a software development bootcamp in August 2024). My technical skills span a range of languages and frameworks, including C#, JavaScript, PHP, React, Next.js, HTML and CSS. I also have experience with various database systems and tools, including MySQL, phpMyAdmin, MS SQL, SSMS, PostgreSQL, and Supabase.
My passion for coding dates to my undergraduate studies, where I focused on web technologies, and in 2015 I completed a Master’s degree in Information, Systems and Technology which gave me even more insight into the world of software development. I have recently had a change in personal circumstances; however, I am now fully committed to furthering my career in this field.
