Full stack software engineer based in the UK. I dabbled with code at school and briefly at university, but chose careers in property management and financial advice first.

Paperwork is what pulled me back. I got tired of filling it in and started building increasingly complex spreadsheets to organise and automate the process — which led to freeCodeCamp, Makers, and a lot of hard graft at MVF as I climbed the career ladder through covid.
