About Me

I first came across the idea of software development as a potential career path after stumbling upon a coding taster session with nology. Having always considered a career in tech being unreachable without degree level qualifications, I went along with little idea of what to expect. I emerged 2 hours later with a basic whack-a-mole game and a drive to learn something new.

Having thoroughly enjoyed life in the live music industry for 5 years previously, much of my experience gained was through various roles covering a number of areas - from tour advancing & logistics, to event planning & management and contracting & invoicing. The skills I acquired to be successful in these positions included problem solving, attention to detail, organisation and a hell of a lot of accountability, all within high pressure and time sensitive situations. I felt I had got everything I could from it, and with a career in tech I could apply all of these skills in a different environment, where the opportunities for learning and development are seemingly endless.

Away from my desk I enjoy ultra distance trail running, rock climbing and travelling. I began teaching myself guitar during the pandemic, and I love going to see live music when I can.
