Just completed a Software Engineering Bootcamp through Hyperion Dev. I am working on my portfolio, upskilling myself and trying to gain as much valuable experience as I possibly can before entering into the workforce and starting a brand new career in Software Development. I come from a Beauty and IT Recruitment background which I believe has given me a unique set of skills, such as patience, perseverance, communication, innovation and working well under pressure. I have discovered my fierce love for writing code and can honestly not imagine doing anything else for the rest of my life. I am currently open to new opportunities such as internships and graduate level positions, so please reach out if you feel that we could work well together.
