Upcoming Makers Academy graduate offering a strong foundation in software development and programming principles across multiple platforms. Connecting the dots from my background in mechanical engineering, physics and yoga to grow as a developer.
Experienced in object-oriented programming; developing, testing, debugging code and designing interfaces. My work experiences also span internationally namely, Shanghai, Dubai and Guadeloupe, where working freelance has given me a ‘doer’ mindset and above all the aptitude to learn and adapt.
Quickly learn and master new technologies; successful working in both team and self-directed settings. I seek to continue to evolve and grow as a software developer, I’m seeking an environment and opportunity that will allow me to be a part of creating a positive impact for the future.
Having the ability to explain and communicate ideas has been intrinsic to my way of working, with subject matters ranging from secondary school physics and maths or even providing the succinct instructions serving as dialogue for my yoga classes. It has also given me a greater appreciation to the art of listening, a skills which serves as powerful feedback for assessing the effectiveness of explanations and also fully comprehending key objectives.
Journeying through code and growing as a software developer at Makers Academy has required me to continuously absorb information and learn new things daily. I enjoy the challenge and the process of learning and I feel that I’m aware enough to identify areas in my knowledge and on it.
