My name is Noah, I am a knowledge-thirsty person and I’m looking for the opportunity to further develop my skills and knowledge base. My free time is often spent exercising, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and playing team-based games with friends.After 6th form college, driven by a desire for self-discovery, I ventured into the service and leisure industry across the UK and later Canada. Teaching swimming in the UK and snowboarding in Canada was particularly fulfilling. I find joy in helping others progress, a passion that led me to Canada in 2019 to merge my love for teaching with snowboarding. These experiences honed my communication skills, adeptness in teamwork, and leadership abilities through managing classes and coordinating with fellow instructors.I've been interested in computers since building my gaming PC at the age of 16. However, it was the Covid lockdowns that brought my attention to coding and software development. Being unable to attend university due to lockdowns, I took the opportunity to embark on a self-study program, utilising the abundance of online learning resources available. This experience has been invaluable, fostering my programming skills, and enhancing my self-motivation and problem-solving abilities. Through this independent learning, I've developed the skills, knowledge, and attitude necessary for a modern development role. This journey underscores my determination, initiative, and drive, qualities that surpass those typically gained through a conventional university degree.In parallel with much of my study I have been working at Roundgreen.rocks this is a fintech startup company I have started with my dad who has been in the software development industry for 40 years. Together we have been creating an IOS app - Cedarca to help particularly novices make better investment decisions. This has been a great experience and I have learned a lot about building resilient code for real-life applications, coordinating with other developers, and planning and managing projects.
