About Me
Welcome to my coding portfolio, where I'm excited to showcase my journey from a first-class law degree holder from the University of Westminster to a passionate problem-solving coder.
My transition into the world of coding began a little over a year ago, as I was exploring various career options. I stumbled upon an advertisement for a coding traineeship. Coding was a foreign concept to me at the time, but the more I delved into it, the more it resonated with me as the path I wanted to follow so, I decided to embrace the unknown and enrol in the IT Career Switch coding traineeship.
This pivotal step became a launching pad for my aspiration to become a well-rounded full stack developer. With every line of code I write, I'm converting my curiosity into competence and my determination into dynamic applications. From crafting elegant front-end interfaces to ensuring robust back-end functionality, I'm refining my skills across the entire development spectrum.
My path might seem unconventional, but it's this very diversity in experiences that empowers me to approach development challenges with a unique perspective. Just as I once dissected complex legal cases, I now dissect intricate code to create seamless and efficient solutions.
SKILLS
During this coding traineeship, I have acquired proficiency in a comprehensive set of programming and web development skills.
