Hello, I'm Chris.
I'm an experienced performance analyst and project manager-turned-software developer.
I'm driven by a strong appreciation for life, the arts and the natural world. I would love to make an impact by using technology for change, growth and innovation.
I just finished a 12-week remote learning course at Makers Academy, a 'selective bootcamp' that focusses on teaching the principles of software craftmanship and language-agnostic learning, and find myself in the exciting position of a career change into an area I find stimulating and satisfying.
As part of this, I wish to broaden my understanding and knowledge of dynamically and statically-typed languages, as well as grow my interests in object-oriented and functional programming, TDD/BDD, Agile and XP.
Tech Skills : Ruby, Javascript, Node.js, React, Express, Rails, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, HTML, jQuery, CSS, Bootstrap, Sinatra.
Web app to help developers find their dream company to work for. Uses the Glassdoor Companies API data, and implemented using the MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) stack.
Single page web app using the Google Maps Javascript, Places and Geolocator API's to render a map of currently open establishments within 1000 meters of the current location.
Project-team based web app Node-hosted example website for booking spaces available for hire.
