I am a Computing & IT graduate looking to cut his teeth on new and interesting projects. As a driven person I enjoy taking on new challenges, this is what motivated me to complete a software engineering degree in addition to my regular daily duties. I am very proud of my civil service career but am looking forward to a new chapter, where my passion for coding may be of better use. I would describe myself as a constant learner who strives to continuously self-develop and am more than willing to learn/embrace new tech or techniques at every opportunity. As a developer I understand how object-oriented software solutions along with development methodologies – e.g. Agile, Waterfall etc. - can be used to deliver upon stakeholder requirements. I have practical experience of both Java and Python programming languages. I am able to code, test and document programs using agreed standards and tools. I have a basic knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases e.g. MySQL, MongoDB. I have also used unit testing approaches to develop and validate solutions e.g. TDD, JUnit. In addition to the former, I also have a good working knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, CSS and React.
