Problem-solving
-
Passion for debugging on GitHub projects
-
Whilst working at Crew Clothing, I had the opportunity to improve processing efficiency through problem-solving.
-
I detected faults in spreadsheets and systems which were slowing down the department's efficiency and fixed them. Following this achievement, I was given responsibility for ownership of these processes and spreadsheets.
-
I increased the efficiency of the new department I was promoted to, for example, automating and enhancing the Monday trade reports.
Communication
-
Experience in pair programming and communicating desired code.
-
During my philosophy degree at Bristol university we discussed complex philosophical theories that required communicating with clarity and evidence to reduce the risk of mis-understanding.
-
While I was waitressing, I gave instructions to my peers in a pressurised environment to help avoid any injuries or errors occurring. This successful communication resulted in my becoming a team ambassador in charge of the wellbeing and organisation of the staff on duty.
-
At Crew Clothing I was asked to work for the menswear, womenswear and the accessories teams simultaneously. I contributed to a cohesive environment between these departments and I frequently taught my peers skills I had developed. I became the go-to person to provide essential skills for new starters within the teams.
