I'm a recent Makers Academy graduate with a passion for problem solving and coding. I'm looking for a role in web development with an experienced team to help me develop my skills and kickstart my career in software.
During my time at Makers, I developed multiple applications in Ruby and Rails. My most impressive acheivements were:
- Igniteit - a site for crowdfunding community projects, developed on Rails
- Gymbuddy - a site to find people who go to your gym to be your buddy, also developed using rails
The applications above include javascript on the front end, however I have also developed some applications solely in JS. I used node to run the backend in these applications:
- Clothes Shop - a challenge to make a demo clothes shop. I choose to use AngularJS for this.
- Bowling Challenge - primarily backend javascript implementation of a bowling scoring system.
- ToDo Challenge - a little experiment in task management, using Node and Angular. Primarily front-end.
- Curiosity and hungry passion for code
- Independent learner and problem-solver
- OOP, TDD, SOLID, MVC, DDD
- Software Craftsmanship
- Ruby, Rails, Javascript, Node.js, Angular.js
- Rspec, Jasmine, Mocha
- Philosophy - graduated 1st class
- Essay prize on the impact of future technologies
