A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF...

thinker

IT became a passion of mine when I was 13.
My first computer I owned was gifted to me as a Christmas present. Within the first two weeks I disassembled it out of curiosity and during the process of re-building it, it then became faulty... Oops.

Within one week, I fixed it! It was inevitable that I’d find interest in software.
Eventually I decided to build a game without even knowing where to start, I know... great idea! This resulted into a simple game. Control the ball and collect ten items.
Regardless of my lack of knowledge, I achieved exactly what I’ve set out to do. Kind of...

Life then got in the way and I found I had a lot less time to focus on my passion.

SO WHAT DO
I LOOK LIKE ?

Code began to haunt me once again. This time it was different. I was dedicated, determined and had a clear “Plan of Attack”. Whilst working a full-time job, I invested all my spare time into learning.
Quick thinking, Adaptable and Reliable leader in my work time. Passionate, hungry to learn Geek in my spare time. I was living two lives.... Just like Batman.
During my double life, I picked up many skills and decided to put all my attention towards coding. From simple static websites to later discovering React and web apps, suddenly everything was possible.
I am now in a stage where I can utilize my skills, work with a team who share my passion and motivation whilst continuing to work on my development.
