About

I'm a Junior Developer based in Cape Town, South Africa (though I'd love to be sponsored to work in the UK, where my family are based.) I've been working in other fields for a while, but I'm now looking to make a career change back into programming. I'm a hard worker, I love coding and believe that I can add a lot of value to any company that will give me a chance.

In my spare time I enjoy learning more about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies, watching scary movies or playing online trading card games.

Skills

My past job experiences include some basic programming, website development, technical computer support, and other non-technical office jobs. Most recently I've been working in Customer Service, dealing mostly with customer-facing issues and troubleshooting technical problems (while studying coding in my spare time.)
